The cygwin ls blocks trying to stat a link to a network share that isn't there. (On one laptop with a small SSD, I store my downloads on a network share, and when on the go that isn't accessible; there is a link in my home directory ~/dl so, if I want to ls inside my home directory, it hangs trying to stat ~/dl, so I wrote this to 'scratch this itch').
