Okay, looks like FileNetworkOpenInformation is succeeding, but returning a
bad EndOfFile value.

At this point this is looking pretty clearly like a Parallels Tools bug.
I'll report it to them.

Here's my test code.  Compiles with either Cygwin or mingw64 GCC, but not
classic mingw or Visual Studio due to missing headers/declarations.  Link
with -lntdll.
