In particular, when filing a bug report against an application suggest
that the application developer obtain the free space information using

  GetDiskFreeSpaceEx

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364937%28v=3Dvs=
=2E85%29.aspx

where the input parameter, lpDirectoryName, is the directory to which
the application is interested in writing.   It should not be the root
directory of the path.

The older GetDiskFreeSpace function

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364935%28v=3Dvs=
=2E85%29.aspx

requires that the lpRootPathName parameter be the root of the path.
GetDiskFreeSpace does not work correctly when there are Reparse Points
(NTFS Junctions, NTFS Symlinks, CIFS Referrals, AFS Mount Points, AFS
Symlinks, etc) and should no longer be used.
