Summary0003311: Incorrect QueryDosDevice call in MatchNtPathRoot (pathmix.cpp)
DescriptionMatchNtPathRoot calls QueryDosDevice to convert a DOS drive letter to NT device name. Unfortunately, when called from internalNtQueryGetFinalPathNameByHandle (farwinapi.cpp), the device name takes the form of "C:\" in direct violation of QueryDosDevice requirements:

   The device name cannot have a trailing backslash; for example, use "C:", not "C:\".
   [ https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365461(v=vs.85).aspx ]

This causes ConvertNameToReal (cvtname.cpp) to fail to convert most junctions*) to their proper real names, which in turn leads to ScanTree::GetNextName (scantree.cpp) to silently skip these junctions in any operation which uses the FSCANTREE_SCANSYMLINK flag. Which can easily lead to the loss of data when performing e.g. a copy with "Copy contents of symbolic links" activated.

*) Some get converted through a workaround by replacing certain \Device\something names directly.
Steps To Reproduce1) Create a HDD-like ramdisk with ImDisk ( http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html/ ) as X:
2) Create a folder X:\Test and file (any content X:\Test\Test.txt).
3) Create a folder C:\Test.
4) Create junction to X:\Test in C:\Test under the name of Junction.
5) Attempt to copy C:\Test to C:\Test2 with "Copy contents of symbolic links" activated.
6) Look into C:\Test2\Junction: There will be no Test.txt.
