Cannot get fs.stat for C:\ (root) on windows using fs.statSync

[busticated]

Here's what I'm seeing:

C:\dev>node.exe -v
v0.5.7

C:\dev>node.exe
> var fs = require('fs');
> fs.statSync('C:\\');
Error: OK, The operation completed successfully.

On OS X, I can get an fs.stat object for root via fs.statSync('/');
