exists( dir ); --> This coredumps in the following scenario on Linux

Say, an existing dir (""/home/user1"" ). Now, this has a dir (say, ""dir1"" ) mounted from windows (thru Samba). Just for clarification - the actual dir exists on Windows that is mounted on Linux.

If we write

dir = ""/home/user1\\dir1"";
exists( dir );  --> crashes

However, if we have
dir = ""/home\\user1"";
exists( dir );  DOES not cause a crash
