 This actually points to a larger problem, the pathnames are used as
 regular expressions even though they are not (semantically) supposed
 to.  So other metacharacters (e.g. dot that is ubiquitous) can
 potentially cause trouble, it's just that ++ in c++ exposed this.
 It should be fixed properly.
