Thanks for the catch! Indeed, it's not being saved anywhere. I assumed
without looking it's d->path but we don't need path anywhere else, so I guess
your solution below is fair.

Agreed, this is incorrect and confusing. I will add a test
for mkdir. I will post a patch for this as well as set
d->fd to -1. Thanks for taking a look.
