I've found where it's coming from. It turns out dir_name() is calling
find_directory() and it's actually construct_vpath_list() that is the
source of the issue. In particular this block of code (starting at
line 262 of vpath.c):
/* Put the directory on the vpath list. */
if (len > 1 || *v != '.')
{
vpath[elem++] = dir_name (strcache_add_len (v, len));
if (len > maxvpath)
maxvpath = len;
}
I haven't had a chance to look at this code in context, so I'm not
sure what the issue is yet, but I figured I'd give you the heads up.
