25 year old bug bites BSD

[Jay R. Ashworth]

Ken: assuming you actually build for BSD (ISTR you don't anymore),
there's a really old bug in the *dir routines detailed here:

	http://it.slashdot.org/it/08/05/11/1339228.shtml and
	http://www.vnode.ch/fixing_seekdir

which you either worked around (and your workaround will break when
they fix it) or you didn't (and your code will stop being broken when
they fix it); it goes back to 4.2 (at least) and appears in OS/X and
lots of other derivatives using Kirk McCusick's routines in their libc.

Cheers,
