Hmmm. So the redirector behavior is being driven
directly by the COPY command here then ?

Not being able to see the source code for COPY,
I wonder if it is using the CopyFile API here,
in which case it may be an issue in the way the
CopyFile API is driving the redirector.

Either way, not checking read returns is a bug,
whoever is (not) doing it :-).
