Hi

the drive letter returned by pwd is a upper case letter while the drive 
letter returned by readdir is a lower case letter.

[FrancisANDRE AT idefix pocozos ]$pwd
/cygdrive/Z/git/pocozos
[FrancisANDRE AT idefix pocozos ]$ll /cygdrive
total 92
drwxrwxrwx+ 1 NT SERVICE+TrustedInstaller NT SERVICE+TrustedInstaller 0 
20 oct.  18:52 c
drwxrwxrwt+ 1 Administrateurs Système                     0 20 oct.  18:52 d
drwxrwxrwx+ 1 Administrateurs Unknown+Group               0 20 oct.  18:52 g
drwx---rwx+ 1 Administrateurs Administrateurs             0 21 oct.  11:45 z

Thus, when traversing the /cygdrive tree using a pattern matching code, 
the /cygdrive/Z directory does not exist while the /cygdrive/z exists.

Either pwd should return a lower case letter, either readdir should 
return an uppercase drive letter to get consistent results.
