Hi All,

  As per the issue id 17167 it states that this issue is resolved, but the
issue still persist as it tested with DMD32 D Compiler v2.079.1-beta.1 on
Windows 2008 R2. so as a temporary solution we have used the UNC path as below

Original Path : C:\Test\1\2\3\4\5\6.............\
UNC Path : \\?\C:\Test\1\2\3\4\5\6.............\

Issue : The appending of UNC path is consuming time and memory as it appends to
each file's and folders inside the file system.

Note: The file system is a windows share from Netapp.

May i know when will this be fixed.

From,
Vino.B
