I'll try to send my patch for reviewal to cygwin-patches tonight. I have
used it
for a while and haven't noticed any perforamance hits.
It works like this:
1) Count the number of dots for each path component
2) Check if the path component consists solely from dots
If it does return ENOENT if the count of the dots is
greater than 2.
If it does contain both dots and other symbols, return
ENOENT if there are dots at the end of the component.
