windows 8.1 and dirEntries

[Stephen Jones]

Code that was fine on 32 bit XP is ow crashing Windows 8.1:
foreach(string s; dirEntries(directory, SpanMode.shallow)){
  if(endsWith(s, "~")) continue;
  try{
    if(isDir(s)) d ~= s;
  }catch(FileException e){   }finally{}
  try{
    if(isFile(s)){
      if(endsWith(s, sufix)){
        f ~= s;
      } 
    }
  }catch(FileException e){}finally{}
}

The error I receive is:

Bypasses std.file.FileException@std\file.d(2262)
===Bypassed===
std.fileFileException@std\file.d(2262): c:\User\Administrator\: 
Access Denied


The crash occurs when directory is the string:
c:\Documents and Settings
c:\PerfLogs
c:\System Volume Information

but there is no issue opening:
c:\Program Files

I am on a 64 bit machine compiling into 32 bit but wouldn't any 
problem there be caught in the try .. catch block? And how come 
the try .. catch block is being bypassed?
