On hebrew enabled(98,95) windows machines, JFileChooser fails to
recognize arabic named directories as directories. Instead, JFileChooser
identifies these directories as files.

On arabic enabled(98,95) windows machines, JFileChooser fails to
recognize hebrew named directories as directories. Instead, JFileChooser
identifies these directories as files.

To reproduce the bug:
Compile and run the code below.
On windows 95(98)arabic, create a folder with arabic name
Use jFileChooser application to read the drive containing that folder
Note that it recognizes the directory (folder) correctly
Go to windows 95(98) Hebrew and run jFileChooser application
Read drive containing the arabic named directory
Note that JFileCooser does not recognize that arabic named directory
as a directory but it recognizes it as a file.
