Details:

Trying to list the directory content of a root folder of a UNC share on
Windows results in an error:

>> dir ('\\SERVER\share')
warning: dir: nonexistent directory '\\SERVER\share'
warning: called from
    dir at line 193 column 5


It does work to list the content of a sub-directory in the share (albeit
displaying a warning):

>> dir ('\\SERVER\share\test')
warning: dir: 'lstat (\\SERVER\share\test\..)' failed: No such file or
directory
warning: called from
    dir at line 132 column 9

.                 a                 test.txt          test_unc.m
Octave (GUI).lnk  b                 test_octave.bat


Both commands should succeed without displaying a warning.
