Listing a non-existent network file

[Andy Koppe]

On Cygwin 1.5:
$ ls //foo/bar
ls: cannot access //foo/bar: No such file or directory

On Cygwin 1.7:
$ ls -l //foo/bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 andy Administrators 0 Dec  1  2006 //foo/bar

Server 'foo' doesn't exist, and on both the reply comes after about 10
seconds, presumably a server lookup timeout. I think the Cygwin 1.5
reply is the correct one.

This is on an XP machine; I haven't yet tried it elsewhere.
