[KinoSearch] Another minimal test case: File::Find causes crash

[Marvin Humphrey]

Edward,

Thanks for the report and for the test case.  It allowed me to  
isolate the problem quickly.

The time to trigger the error was proportional the amount of material  
consumed.  Since you were only capturing titles, it took a while to  
reach the 16 MiB default threshold.  The flushing process happened to  
require opening a new file, and... kaboom.

This happened because File::Find had changed the working directory  
and the relative path to the index was no longer valid.  Relative  
index paths get absolute-ified as of repository revision 2461,  
resolving the issue.
