The result is that for directories which span more than one block, the second READDIR is made to the wrong place. It appears that NetBSD fixes this by a modification to VFS which allows the filesystem to return a vector of cookies with the VFS readdir operation. I suppose that this change is part of 4.4bsd and therefore FreeBSD-2.0 but in the meantime, I am stuck. -- Doug Rabson, RenderMorphics Ltd.
