it does; I see same with NetWare, though there we have volume names
which can be up to 16 chars before the colon ...; fixing that is already
for a long time on my todo list, but never was a priority since I
personally never used file:// nor other users asked for ...
would be way cool if you could take that into account too, and check for
1-16 chars before the colon, followed by / ...
