Possibly.  Haven't looked into that.

Oof.  That is ugly -- first extend, then trim again.  It would be
much simpler to just leave mzero alone and make an additional
concatenation, and then test both for being a directory (the
second test will only be done if the first fails).  See attached.

/Less/ complicated!?  :)

Yes, it seems to work nicely now.

If you are content with the way things look, then please run
in your patched source tree:

git checkout -b tabbing
git commit -as

(Type a nice commit message that describes the change, and
the need for it, and refer to the bug on Savannah.)

git format-patch master

Then please attach that patch.  Here, and to the bug.
