Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amaur...@gmail.com> added the comment: nul is a special "dos device" _getfullpathname() correctly returns \\.\nul, but normpath() then simplifies it to \\nul
I suggest that normpath() be changed to consider \\.\ as a special prefix, and keep it intact when it appears at the start of the path.
