I don't think it's a bug, as longstanding POSIX tradition is that if 
there are multiple reasons to fail (here, EACCES and ENOTDIR) then a 
library function can fail with either error number.

Your patch doesn't feel quite right to me but I haven't figured out why 
yet; I'll try to spring time to look at it in more detail.
