Then I wonder what's different about Wilfed's setup that causes an attempt to
open Z: when it's offline.
I'm grasping at straws, but could the difference be related to the fact that his
drive Z: is not a Samba share? Here's an excerpt from the mount output in one
of his earlier emails (when Z: is online):
V: on /cygdrive/v type smbfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
W: on /cygdrive/w type smbfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
X: on /cygdrive/x type smbfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
Y: on /cygdrive/y type smbfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
Z: on /cygdrive/z type cifs (binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
