Me too ;-)  I'll test it for a while longer though.

I think there is a bug lurking... one of the first things Dir_FindFile
does is call DirFindDot() which looks in 'dot' and 'cur'.
But I'm seeing the lookup in 'cur' fail to find anything after
Dir_Init() has been redone.  Tracing through with gdb it looks like
the hash entries for 'cur' are being added ok , but the lookup always
fails.  Even removing the #ifdef CLEANUP from Dir_End() so that
cleanup really is done does not make a difference.

Also my assertion that the lookup for 'cur' in Dir_LookupSubdir() was
pointless was wrong.  By default 'dot' and 'cur' are not strictly in
.PATH so must always be dealt with explicitly ('dot' first).

If/when I sort out the problem with DirFindDot I'll post a final diff
before I commit anything.

Thanks
