Having sent these patches, I am wondering if the simplest fix might be this
one-liner.

diff --git a/dir.c b/dir.c
index d0999ba..7fba335 100644
--- a/dir.c
+++ b/dir.c

That one-liner doesn't work at all for me.

IOW, it now ignores _everything_, because the dir and the path don't 
match.

Hmph, you are right.  The real series is not equivalent to the one-liner
at all.
