>Summary: os.listdir("") bug on Windows

Initial Comment:
   There is an out-of-bounds error on Windows when 
using os.listdir("") which could result in 
indeterminate behaviour. After parsing the args, it
does
 ch = namebuf[len-1];
   which indexes before the array as len = 0.
   Possibly change this to
 ch = (len > 0) ? namebuf[len-1] : '\0';

Fixed in posixmodule.c 2.226.  Untested but I'm sure
Tim will scream if the Windows build breaks.
