windows 8.1 and dirEntries

[Stephen Jones]

Code that was fine on 32 bit XP is ow crashing Windows 8.1:

foreach(string s; dirEntries(directory, SpanMode.shallow)){
   if(endsWith(s, "~")) continue;
   try{
     if(isDir(s)) d ~= s;
   }catch(FileException e){   }finally{}
   try{
     if(isFile(s)){
       if(endsWith(s, sufix)){
         f ~= s;
       }	
     }
   }catch(FileException e){}finally{}
}

The error I receive is:

Bypasses std.file.FileException at std\file.d(2262)
===Bypassed===
std.fileFileException at std\file.d(2262): c:\User\Administrator\: 
Access Denied


The crash occurs when directory is the string:
c:\Documents and Settings
c:\PerfLogs
c:\System Volume Information

but there is no issue opening:
c:\Program Files

I am on a 64 bit machine compiling into 32 bit but wouldn't any 
problem there be caught in the try .. catch block? And how come 
the try .. catch block is being bypassed?
