GetFileAttributesEx follows sym links, FindFirstFile does not. You 
should be able to quickly check it but I think the patch means that it 
will return the size of the link file when it linked to an lock file. 
Assuming I have this right, then you'll need to look at the 
dwFileAttributes field in the WIN32_FIND_DATAW structure and return 0 
when the attribute to indicate a reparse point is set.

BTW: Do you know if anyone has submitted a bug to Microsoft on this? 
This issue is really about working around a regression in the runtime 
that comes with the VS2017.
