Hello!

I've put netrw v147f on my website; v147e (and f) both use patch 465;
v147f checks on that and issues a message if vim isn't sufficiently
up-to-date.

The reason: for local listings, netrw makes use of the extra arguments
to glob() to get a List. Its rather faster that way. However, v147e,
the glob() silently fails if the vim doesn't have patch 465, and thus no
listing results.
