ext2ls zero-length directory entries?

ext2ls zero-length directory entries?

[Joe Buehler]

(This is a vendor-modified version of uboot 2011.03.)

I am running into problems using ext2load, the command complains that
the file of interest is not found.  I know it's there though since it is
fine under LINUX.

Doing some poking around, I see that ext2ls is showing mostly zero
length on the subdirs I am interested in loading files from -- thus the
"not found" issues.  Some of the directories have enormous lengths and
crash uboot when attempting to list their content.

I am attempting to load from a large SATA disk partitioned into two
equal-size partitions that add up to the whole disk.  No problems with
the first partition, the second partition has the issue.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?  Perhaps it is a disk size issue and
an old uboot?  LINUX says the following about the disk:

ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 0)
