I hope you find a more elegant way to determine when it's a root directory.


Meanwhile I found out that my statfs change fixing the MS GetFreeDiskSpace
bug exposes (on WinME only) a MS GetFreeDiskSpaceEx bug.
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b314417>  

Experimentally, that can be fixed by calling GetFreeDiskSpaceEx before
GetFreeDiskSpace, but not more than once per 3 sec... BTW, looking
up the disk properties in Windows has the same feature.

	* syscalls.cc (statfs): Call GetDiskFreeSpaceEx before GetDiskFreeSpace.
