Problem: vim does not open local directory.
Steps to reproduce:
1. run
$ vim /etc/
Expected results:
use netrw plug-in to list directory content.

"/etc/" Illegal file name
2. buffer remains empty.
I'm unable to duplicate your problem.
I'm able to duplicate this problem very easily using Vim 7.4.41 and
netrw v149 on an Ubuntu 10.04 system. For example:
$ cd /usr
$ vim -N -u NORC share # Succeeds
$ vim -N -u NORC /usr/share # Succeeds
$ cd
$ vim -N -u NORC /usr/share # Fails
$ cd /tmp
$ vim -N -u NORC /usr/share # Fails
In short, it seems to open a relative path to a directory fine, and
the absolute path to a directory when the current directory is in
that path fine, but it does not open a directory given by its
absolute path when the current directory is not in that path.
I repeated my experiments using an older Vim installation, Vim
7.2.330 and netrw v136, and it always worked, so something appears
to have broken between then and 7.4.41/v149.
Please run the internal debugger (:he netrw-debug) and send me a
trace.
I will try to get that later today.
I'll take a look when you get the trace. That entire sequence of
commands worked for me. However, I'm using netrw v150n (its almost the
same as v150m; it simply has an extra problem detection with a warning
that should not affect this).
