Did you forget to attach the patch?

I hate pathnames. Even for something as seemingly trivial as Show
Directory in the listener, they turned into an unpredictable,
unportable mess. I vowed not to use them as the primary representation
in the event I ever get around to adding serious shell-like features
to the listener.

Good idea. '(and pathname (satisfies my-directory-p)) doesn't do it?
