"prlsf".  If Cygwin had recognized the FS, it would have printed
"prlfs".  I did this shuffle "sf" vs. "fs" on purpose.  But...

...I don't understand *why* Cygwin doesn't recognize the FS.  It checks
explicitely for the "PrlSF" filesystem name.  I tried this locally
by faking the above information and it worked for me.

Btw., there's more than one problem here.  The fact that all drives
have the same volume name *and* a serial number of 0 leads to all
drives being identified as the same drive.  I have to add some code
creating a reproducible serial number from scratch if the original
serial number is 0, but for testing, I didn't implement this yet.

Talking about testing.  I created a test DLL which provides a lot
of output when stracing the calls.  I'll send you a private mail
with the URL to this DLL in a minute.  Please install it, and under
that DLL, run

  $ strace -o stat.trace ./stat-size-test.exe /cygdrive/y/foo

I'll need to have a look into that strace to (hopefully) see what's
going wrong.

Indeed. Sorry, I was thinking of one of my local test hacks using DOS
paths.
