Is this safe? Can you _never_ have a d_name with a leading dot, like '
.hidden' ??
Maybe should
if(dir->d_name[0] == '.' && (dir->d_name[1] == '\0' || (dir->d_name[1]
== '.' && dir->d_name[2] == '\0')))

Admittedly I don't think it happens in the current procfs, but I'd want
to be careful regardless.
