From the MSYS issue it looks like the GetFinalPathNameByHandleW call results in some trouble, but the MSYS guys rather just disable code instead of trying to debug it and fixing the cause. "Somebody" would have to be somebody who can reproduce the issue. I'm neither using VirtualBox, nor AFS. I probably could test this if somebody gives me temporary access to an existing AFS FS somewhere, plus a short description how to connect. I guess it starts with "Install latest OpenAFS version x.y for Windows"... Corinna
