Hmm. All of findfile() was new to me before this thread. It appears I
misinterpreted '.*;' as the {path} parameter. If I've got it right,
now, it works in the opposite order:

Since it ends with ';':
It will progressively strip trailing directories until it reaches '/'.

Since it starts with '.*':
At each level, it will try directories matching /.*/.

I don't understand how it would produce:
/srv/http/iprzychodnia/symfony
...if there's no file by that name.

Perhaps your shell is cd'ing somewhere before `ls` is being run? (Seems
unlikely, but otherwise I have no idea how to explain the lack of output
if symfony indeed exists.) Is there a 'symfony' file in
/srv/http/iprzychodnia/ if you do:

:e .
(i.e. open NetRW in the current dir)
