Solved. This is caused by bug 1322202 which prevented navigation into
directories with just 2 chars. With stock 0.9.4 installed, to fix I
had to look up lib/LXR/Common.pm in cvs and manually apply the patch
that you get by diff'ing 1.51 (committed for 0.9.4) and 1.53. If 0.9.4
is installed it is best to change both copies of Common.pm, the one
under site_perl and the one in the /usr/local/lxr directory and
rebuild from scratch: mysql  \. initdb-mysql; genxref.
