#9575: is_directory() wrong with NTFS mounted volumes,  and temp_directory_path()
fails then

-------------------------------+------------------------
 is_directory() returns false with NTFS mounted volumes in Windows.
 This look like the same problem as #5649, but the consequences are more
 serious I think.
 Some people put the temp directory on a mounted volume, and in this case
 temp_directory_path() fails although windows has a valid temporary
 directory.
 I use some commercial software that uses temp_directory_path() which will
 fail without useful error messages.
