That's strange, File::Find shouldn't be trying to chdir to the
empty string.  I've made the detatint pattern match the empty
string - see if that helps.

It should probably skip it - but it's too late once File::Find
tries to chdir into it.  Maybe we could add code to do_search
that sets $File::Find::Prune for directories that would fail the
taint check ?
