Actually, I was very confused. When I wrote about cygwin problems,
I actually debugged it for dir_buffer, real stack-based variable,
which of course is not zero-initialized. For an unknown reason I
confused the variable with buffer, which is static. "rel" should
be left of this particular discussion (it just does not matter whether
it is static or not in this context).
So the fix is a real fix for real problem which just happens to be
invisible on our linux systems.

Yes, I feel so too, so here it is.
