Oops, I see that I forgot to include the actual test case in the
message. I think I had it typed out in gmail and then decided to look
into the code instead and forgot to put it in the git send-email.

% : ./*(-.Y1N); ls -l /proc/$$/fd

was my test case, so not much would happen to $PWD in that particular
case. I tried */*/*(-.Y5N) instead now, and nothing untoward seemed to
happen then either (without and with my patch, so no weird pwd
changing or errors about double frees, respectively).
