Subject: A served-tree pane spoils no Grep, and `look .` from a gone directory
 is ENOENT

A pane named `/virtual` gave Grep the root `/`, which swallowed every
other pane's directory and ran out of walk before any file: every Grep
missed. Grep passes over panes of the served tree. And `.` from a pane
whose directory was gone resolved to the served tree's root (/virtual/),
or through the jump list to another pane's directory: a dot path is the
looking pane's own, and gone it fails, `look: <dir>: no such directory`.
