No, that's also how 1.7.6 works. I documented this behaviour in
path.cc:
/* Note that we don't set the dir handle to NULL for virtual paths.
The handle is used to generate a stackdump file. Since we can't
create a stackdump in a virtual path, we have at least *some*
directory handle to generate the stackdump in.
However, note that we have to make sure that we don't use the handle
wrongly as soon as we start to use it in other cases as well. */
Looks like this behaviour is a problem and we should better close the
old handle. What to do with the new one? Just set it to NULL and
disallow stackdumps as long as we're in a virtual path? Or set it to
some well known path, like Cygwin's root?
