+Summary: Directory.Exists() wrongly throwing exception when access is denied
+
+The documentation for System.IO.Directory.Exists() says:
+
+If the caller does not have sufficient permissions to read the files in the
+directory specified by path, no exception is thrown and the method returns
+false  regardless of the existence of path
+
+Actually, the current class libraries throw an exception here:
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path
+"a/b" is denied.
+in <0x0007b> System.IO.Directory:Exists (System.String path)
+in <0x00017> Test:Main (System.String[] args)
