Given that this is a Windows-specific problem, couldn't the fallback be that make switches over to native calls (FindXXXFile or QueryDirectory or whatever) to read the problem directory? Or even fork a shell and run "dir"? That would be ugly and a lot of work but it might be the only real fix for the problem, which I gather is rare. In fact maybe this search could always use the native API instead of opendir/readdir?
