Oh, it was apparetly "unlink()" that corrupts filesystems. Which isn't
against Posix, it's just stupid.
The "unlink directories" is so old-fashioned that it's not even funny. The
whole reason "rmdir()" was created was to *not* have that behaviour in the
OS.
So I'll have to correct my statement. Please remove the "buggy" from
"buggy piece of crap". The rest stands.
