Interesting.  The current "fix" for the device names issue is to ask
Windows "is this a file" once we have opened the path in question.   If
it Windows says anything other than "this is a file", then we close it
and pretend we never saw it!

I'd be interested to know if the answer to that question is being
affected by whether there is something connected to the device or not.
(Eg, if you unplug whatever is plugging into LPT1/PRN does it still
happen?)

I'd also be interested if anyone else can reproduce it.
