Subject: (file-exists-p) bug?
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2014 18:51:39 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <155DEC68569B714B86C2C7075F5EDA9892B12BEA@DAKIYA1.pegasus.local> (raw)

I'm running emacs 24.3 (2013-08-20 build date) on CYGWIN 64 bit.  There are file systems mounted with OpenText NFS client from an AIX box. 

(file-exists-p "/cygdrive/q/file/of/interest/.dir-locals.el")
=> t
where the /cygdrive/q/file/of/interest is a regular file.
The same does not happen with files of interest that do not exist:

(file-exists-p "/cygdrive/q/bobtcat")
=> nil

I've looked through the help-gnu-emacs and bugs-gnu-emacs archives and (in the first 5 or so pages) don't find anything like this. It seems like a bug, but I always assume that I'm doing something wrong first.

Does anyone know what I might be doing (have configured) wrong?

Thanks.
