Indeed, after tracing it over debug-land and reading forgotten MSDN

Is not a Ruby bug, it was actually a permission issue caused by a bug
or something by the installer process of E-TextEditor or the cygwin
bundled by it.

I was not able to cd ino %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore after that.

WOW64 redirection is automatically enabled once a 32bits application
start working on a x64 version of Windows, due the permission issues,
it was not possible FindFirstFileW or GetFileAttributeW to it.

Thank you for the time you took answering this and again apologize the
noise I have caused.
