It is indeed.  When I change this:
	foreach {n s d c} [eval [linsert $tag end *]] break
to this
	foreach {n s d c} [{*}$tag *] break

... then the timings become normal again (the remaining slowdown  
w.r.t. mk4vfs is no doubt due to the different logic, I may add  
caching back in at some point).  There are a few more cases in the  
mkclvfs code where eval needs to be replaced, but the above takes  
care of stat.

So *something* in eval is shimmering, even though its argument is a  
pure list.

The big question is: why does this turn up *only* on Windows (and  
only in 8.5) ?
