I'm afraid I'm still puzzled. Still, the patch improves things, since it fixes what appears to be a serious bug (recursive runaway) while introducing a relatively minor problem (getcwd doesn't work in unreadable directories). Overall, that's a win, even if we can improve it further later, so I pushed the fix into gnulib here: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=ca369c8d661a10d8a0ae3d712e7dfa91664921f1
