string dir;
exists( dir ); --> This coredumps in the following scenario on Linux
Say, an existing dir ("/home/user1" ). Now, this has a dir (say, "dir1" )
mounted from windows (thru Samba). Just for clarification - the actual dir
exists on Windows that is mounted on Linux.
If we write
dir = "/home/user1\\dir1";
exists( dir ); --> crashes
However, if we have
dir = "/home\\user1";
exists( dir ); DOES not cause a crash
