Ok, I can understand not wanting to support Junctions, It would be 
fantastic to support symlinks though - this is bound to come up more 
as people on windows learn to use links, if you need any testing done 
for this let me know.

Ok, will see what can be done for symlink. I'm not sure 2k/xp are worst
a hack, but 2k8/vista/win7 have real symlinks support.

FYI: I've tested this on Windows XP, Vista to get the results for 
windows, and Centos 5 for linux results

I can confirm this is a problem using 
http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/php-5.3-nts-win32-VC9-x86-
latest.zip  that i downloaded now. 

The problem occurs when the symlink (typically used by Vista/Server 
2008) is a folder or a file, or a folder junction (Used by WinXP/2K) 
is used.
