Trying to grep an entire project tree fails with autochdir set:

gvim -N -u NONE -i NONE C:/path/to/project/dir/relative/path/in/
project/somedir/file.c
set autochdir
cd C:/path/to/project/dir
vimgrep /pattern/j relative/path/in/project/**/*.[ch]

Gives:
C:\path\to\project\dir
"relative\path\in\project\somedir\file.c" [New DIRECTORY]
C:\path\to\project\dir
"relative\path\in\project\somedir\file2.c" [New DIRECTORY]
C:\path\to\project\dir
"relative\path\in\project\somedir\file3.c" [New DIRECTORY]
...
E480: No match: pattern

But without the set autochdir, the vimgrep correctly finds all
occurrences of pattern in the project.

I'm about 95% sure this worked at some point in the past, because this
is how I've done similar searches before.

I actually found the problem while using :ProjectGrep in eclim, but
discovered that even with the minimal configuration given above, Vim
seems to use the wrong directory as the base for its grep search.
