The culprit appears to be r83892, which doesn't
correctly handle "." and ".."  It should return
1, but instead it returns 0.  The correct fix is
to add an else

...
    if ( !missing_parent )

    {
        char const * const n = last_element;

        int const n_length = path + path_length - n;
        if ( !( n_length == 1 && n[ 0 ] == '.' )
            && !( n_length == 2 && n[ 0 ] == '.' && n[ 1 ] == '.' ) )
        {
            ...
        }
        else /* HERE */
        {
            return 1;
        }
    }

I'll add this in master (along with some tests) tomorrow.

In Christ,
Steven Watanabe
