It's a choice as good as any. The scandir implementation is wrong for a variety of reasons; the foremost being that it assumes that it is operating on a directory part of a *local* *ufs* filesystem. Both those assumption are false. (Other filesystems may store different dirents (larger, smaller) or store them in a manner which is no directly related to size) But while it's clear we can easily fix Solaris' Nevada/10 scandir this is not the case for all NFS clients as we don't control them.
