Please ask that user to report problems here and participate in this
discussion.  I don't have access to a Windows box where UID is such a
large number, and talking through an intermediary is very inefficient.

Which versions of src/w32.c and src/dired.c were used in the build of
EmacsW32 that this user used?  There were changes made there recently,
so it's important to know precisely what code was used.

What do you mean by ``also checked with Cygwin''?  Does it mean he
checked with Cygwin build of Emacs, or just that `ls' and `id' used
above were Cygwin builds?
