We did not attempt to change the implementation due to lack of fully
understanding the implications of how this function is called.  We did
noticed the behavior in /proc/partition when we first attempted to
connect using the stock 1.5.19 cygwin.  Hence, we felt it may help
others to document the behavior.  Our intent is to increase the device
mapping with minimal change to existing implementation.

We have converted all comments to use C-style /**/ and attached the
patch as a file instead.

Thanks,
Joe
