In my case, the variable "path" shows the name of the directories
written in $TEXMF of texmf.cnf. Of course, every path does not end
with "//". But everyone thinks that file must be searched recursively
for these directories.

In my opinion, the following line is non-sense.

if path:find("//$") then recurse = true  else recurse = false end

After giving "recurse = true" explicitly, everything works fine for me.

Best. ChoF.
