Previously: 1. last_error wouldn't be updated with errors from is_dir; 2. We'd always issue a stat(), even for binaries without execute; 3. We used stat() instead of access(), which is cheaper. This change avoids all of those, by only checking inside X_OK-positive case whether access() works on the path with an extra slash appended. Thanks to Lennart for the suggestion.
