Running strace pointed me to the proper place to look
for the error.

However, the proper fix is maybe more of a philosophy
issue.  

I found some code in path.cc that removes trailing dots and
spaces from a file name in path_conv::check().  The question is,
should these trailing spaces/dots actually be removed, or should
they be converted to %20/%2E, only if they are part of the file/
directory name?  Or, should they be stripped for ALL file searches,
so that something like /foo./bar will be found under the windows
path /%66oo/%62ar?
