The Microsoft Windows Folder Redirection Service would crash with 1.7.x
releases prior to 1.7.0400 when folders are redirected to a path in
\\AFS.  The crash was caused by the Folder Redirection Service
attempting to access a SID structure through a NULL pointer.   The
Folder Redirection service assumes that all Access Control Lists
returned by a file system specify a Owner and Group SID.  AFS did not
and so the assumption was violated.   In 1.7.4 we return the World SID
as Owner and Group in all Access Control Lists.
