Oddly if you do
(file-accessible-directory-p "/usr/bin/true")
it works correctly, but then once you run
(call-process "/usr/bin/true")
file-accessible-directory-p incorrectly returns true on subsequent
calls. Paul’s commit didn’t make any real changes to
file-accessible-directory-p so I suspect this problem is older.
Incidentally it looks like, on MSDOS, file_directory_p calls
file_accessible_directory_p, which calls file_directory_p.
