Bruno, Is there any type of file system where readdir works? What version of Darwin are you using? I see no failure with Darwin-8.7.0, so I might add a run-test (like coreutils' old readdir.m4), if it's likely to be independent of file system type. Then only the buggy versions of Darwin will be impacted.
