Use 'slash' to point at a possible slash, use 'filename' just to
point at the real file name, and use 'wasdirname' just to point at
the dir's name before expanding it in order to be able to free it.

Also, remove two superfluous asserts: 'dirname' cannot be NULL
because it has just been mallocstrcpy'd, and checking 'num_matches'
is pointless as it would crash on the next statement anyway.
