No, I'm afraid it's not. As I explained, you need to check that the
file exists first. Also, DOSFS_GetFullName is called all over the
place, so we need to go through all of them to make sure the behavior
is correct; for instance your patch will break FindFirstFile since we
have to allow wildcards there.
