This bug is obsolete. Please test against a newer kernel to
see if it still is valid.
Cheers Nick

The problem here is that there is no libc support, so, nothing to incude.

This is only true for the 64-bit structure/getdents64(). For getdents(), the
description is accurate, ad the example code demonstartes.

The real problem is that the page does not document getdents64() and the
structure that it uses. I've now added a description to the page, which will go
out with the next release.

Cheers,

Michael

the d_type byte moving possibly means the length calculation for d_name in
there is wrong too.
