Summary: cannot create pathnames with :wild-inferiors

Initial Comment:
Pathnames with :wild-inferiors followed by a sub-
directory cannot be created.  The following error 
arises:
"*** - PARSE-NAMESTRING: cannot access values of an 
array of element type NIL"

#P"/**/subdir/" => error
(make-pathname :directory '(:absolute :wild-
inferiors "subdir")) => error

However, no error when 
  * the device or a filename is provided:
      #P"C:/**/subdir/" => #P"C:\\**\\subdir\\"
      #P"/**/name" => #P"\\**\\name"
  * relative pathname is used:
      #P"**/subdir//" => #P"**\\subdir\\"
  * :wild, rather than :wild-inferiors is used:
      #P"/*/subdir/" => #P"\\*\\subdir\\"
  * :wild-inferiors is the last directory name
      #P"/**/" => #P"\\**\\"

Note - this is not a printing problem since
     (progn #P"/**/subdir/" nil) => error
