I'm closing this one in favor of #300 as it contains a patch and also provides some related discussion.

Looking at the crazy buffer handling in _path and _searchenv, I decided to re-implement them with proper buffer overflowing, more flexible extension search, and avoiding mistaking directories for files. Committed the 0.6 code in r3903.
