file-match PS

   > (file-match "v14"  #f "" file-directory?)

   Error: 2

   i think that 'file-match' finds a symlink which could not be resolved.

   is there any understandable description for the cryptic debugger?

I forgot to add -- I also made a pass over all the uses of the procedure
that signals system-call errors, and all uses now include the arguments
that were passed to the system call when it blew up. This greatly improves the
quality of the error messages -- in the case above, it would have told you
exactly which filename had generated the "No such file or directory" error,
instead of making you guess.
