Guy Harris mentioned that this is fixed in 4.2, since there is a set of routines in libc for scanning directories. What he didn't mention is that an equivalent set of routines exists for old-style file systems, and has been posted to net.sources at least once. The idea was that you could fix up your code BEFORE you got your 4.2 tape... I think I have the routines lying around if anyone needs them, and could re-post to net.sources if enough people ask.
