--- Comment #7 from Paul Eggert (eggert@cs.ucla.edu) ---
Created attachment 257593
  --> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=257593&action=edit
sample program illustrating how ext4 st_nlink behavior breaks glibc

Run this program in an empty ext4 directory to illustrate the problem: fts will
misbehave and will not find the two files "needle" in the large-directory
haystack.
