It's pity, but it does... See thread

I insist that dsearch MUST NOT return "." or ".." because those items
are special for majority of file systems, so they can not be used
to store data and are dangerous (!) to construct file path.
It seems better to exclude those items from scan list.
And there is no need to have two options "dir" and "subdir" which
differes only in application to "..". Such interface is redundant.
