Very strange. I installed the workaround into Emacs master, so at least
the symptoms should be fixed now. But I don't know why the fix worked,<= br> and this doesn't inspire warm feelings.
The Gnulib manual says that macOS faccessat (..., "FILE/", ...) incorrectly succeeds when FILE is a regular file, and Gnulib has code to
work around that bug that should be in effect for Emacs. However, the
Gnulib manual doesn't say that faccessat (..., "FILE/.", ...)=
incorrectly succeeds in this situation, nor that faccessat (...,
"FILE/./", ...) does the right thing; and the test program I gave= you
didn't illustrate any bugs in this area so I'm not sure what's = going on.
