Presumably you know there is actually a file or directory by that name?

Assuming yes: next step is a repeat of your debug run but with +expand
added, so we see the "if exists" being expanded. Maybe the default
actions for the missing yes/no result cases is not working right.


After that, I guess the next step would be an strace to show the actual
"stat" syscall being done, so we can tell if it correctly ran that
bit of the expansion (I don't see why not, but we're into that level
of distrust) and what the return value from the OS was.
