A small fix to my hack:

	while(Readdir(f, namep, dironly||namep[1]!=0)){
				       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

(adding a check for a trailing component) has the dual effect of
fixing the above inconsistency and, hopefully, speed up the expansion
by considering only directories if there is a subsequent component.

There may be implications I have overlooked.  I think the code should
be revised, if the objective seems worthwhile, rather than hacked, but
that's a decision for the _real_ developers.
