Hi Paul,

I built from 60ff8101449eea3a5ca4961299501efd83d011bd.

$ sw_vers
ProductName:	Mac OS X
ProductVersion:	10.10.5
BuildVersion:	14F2511
$ src/emacs -Q -batch -eval '(message "%S" (file-name-completion "pass"
"."))'
"passwd"

Since this doesn't seem to match your hypothesis, do you still want me
to try it with the "/./" patch you sent?

-David
