bug#17641: 24.3.91; (locate-dominating-file "." Makefile) returns nil.

[Nicolas Richard]

Evalling
(locate-dominating-file "." "Makefile")
I get nil (unless the current directory has the file Makefile in it).

I expected to get some parent directory containing that file.

otoh, evalling:
(locate-dominating-file default-directory "Makefile")
works as expected.
