I can put in a web support ticket later today.
I have no idea how to submit a bug to them other than going through support channels, and it seems that Google doesn't, either. A shame you can't just let them know somehow. I'm tempted to call our account rep and see what she recommends for general bug submissions. Maybe you could post it to some blogs, like the Core Team? http://blogs.technet.com/askcore/contact.aspx From: Carl Houseman [mailto:c.house...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 2:23 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Bug in Win7 dir command Thanks Joe. Is there any way to find out if MS knows about this bug (besides calling PSS)? I was going to post about it on Microsoft Answers but every time I try to "ask a question" it gives me "The page you are attempting to view is temporarily unavailable due to system maintenance. Please try again later." That's what makes life using the cloud so much fun, the incredible reliability of it all...

I took the first vncviewer.exe and copied it to an 8.3 name. Dir on that 8.3 file name shows 0 as well, so I think you have it right. From: Carl Houseman [mailto:c.house...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 8:53 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Bug in Win7 dir command Thanks. Mine is 2003 R1 and no DFS, doesn't matter if it's redirected or not. It would appear if the path and file name components conform to 8.3 naming they are affected, otherwise not. Carl From: Miller Bonnie L. [mailto:mille...@mukilteo.wednet.edu] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 11:40 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Bug in Win7 dir command I think I can replicate it here. Win7x64 +patches. Mapped to a drive, in my case it's also a folder redirected drive and mapped using DFS-R, on a WS03 R2 SP2 + patches server. DFS-R root servers could be WS03 R2 SP2, WS08 SP2, or WS08 R2 (+ patches). Folder is available offline and showing as synchronized. What's interesting is that it doesn't happen on every file. For example, a *.docx and a *.exe file are both reporting correctly, but a *.txt and a *.cmd file are reporting 0 bytes when they are not. -Bonnie From: Carl Houseman [mailto:c.house...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 8:05 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Bug in Win7 dir command Can anyone reproduce this? The required conditions, so far, appear to be: Using Windows 7 x64, haven't tried other flavors of 7 yet. Drive is mapped to a server (in my case 2003 SP2). Must be in a folder, not at the root. Folder is available offline. Folder name(s) must not contain spaces or other chars that require quoting.
