Hrm. The old code used to reset "dir" to NULL before breaking, so the entire function used to return NULL. Now, it calls search_for_subdir(), which calls search_ref_dir() and gets NULL in entry, and returns NULL.

Wouldn't we end up returning the original parameter "dir" instead of NULL in that case? Would that make a difference?
