Bug description:  Can't change to another drive letter using chdir()

Description:
------------
The chdir() command works correctly when changing to a given dir in the
SAME drive, however, I believe that it should be capable of changing to
another drive letter and then directory in that drive letter.  I know that
Windows can do that using "cd /D <path>".

Reproduce code:
---------------
$currentDir = getcwd();
echo "currentDir: $currentDir<br/>";
chdir("Q:\\sdadmin") || die(sendMessage("Can't change to
'$substDrive\\sdadmin'", true));	
echo getcwd();

Expected result:
----------------
I would have expected to change from "D:\scmtools\oss\" to "Q:\sdadmin".

Actual result:
--------------
The chdir() function returns false and I show an error message.
