Some valid paths under MS Windows would fail with sys_file_flag/3 (or the user
level get_file_info/3). For example, the path "//C//.", which should be
equivalent to "//C/" is a valid path, cd("//C//.") succeeds, but

get_file_info("//C//.", mode, Mode) fails.

(this sort of path names can be created within canonical_path_name/2, so
canonical_path_name fails with `reasonable' paths such as `.' on Windows).
