This is traditional Unix behaviour. The original dirent structure (which was actually struct direct from <sys/dir.h>) directly matched the contents of the directory file on disk, and an entry was deleted by setting d_ino to zero. Modern implementations of the dirent functions hide this detail from the user and never return entries with d_ino == 0 any more.
