zpaqfranz: Windows -longpath switch, inconsistently reports number of files

Noticed an inconsistency, not sure if this is documented?

I have a folder with 187,372 files.

• 1466 folders

I cannot seem to find the right combination of flags to pick up all of these files, because:

• Some of the paths are longer than 255 characters
• UNC or //?/, -longpath, doesn’t seem to pick up all the files either.

I am attaching output of various commands I’ve tried.
