I don't think we need to change the value of w32-get-true-file-attributes on FAT32 volumes. All we need is fix server.el to not barf on FAT32 volumes.

This developer simply doesn't have enough time to fix everything right away. That is the only reason this bug is not yet fixed. That, and the fact that no one else beat me to it. There's no show-off anywhere in sight.
