I agree - readdir should ALWAYS match stat, even in the face of mount points, if it is going to provide d_ino. Even cygwin developers took great care in their upcoming 1.5.20 release to ensure that mount points are handled correctly, such that readdir reports the same value that stat will provide. Is there an easy configure or runtime test we can do to detect buggy readdir implementations, and always do stat on those platforms? -- Eric Blake -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
