Well, having seen similar behavior with other programs ported to
System V, I think I can make an educated guess.  In jove/scandir.c,
just *before* the in line that goes "if ((dp->d_fd = open(dir, 0)) == -1)"
see if adding these two lines does the trick:

	if (dir && *dir == NULL) 
		dir = ".";

The reason for this is that unlike in BSD, USG unices do not treat the
null string and "." as having the same meaning.r
