What I reported (or meant to report) was about the top level (c:\) being treated
different from other levels in Dired: the fact that `..' in a directory just
under the top level doesn't show the same properties as elsewhere.
I might not have made that clear enough, but this is the problem I see: treating
`..' differently in this one case.

Bug #819 and its subject line are adequate for this bug, IMO - no need to file
another bug. I've clarified what I see. If you want to fix it, OK; if not, OK.

I too didn't explain myself clearly enough. Hopefully, it's clear now.

I hope my description is clear now. I'm looking at the Dired entries, not at the
code.
