:FreeBSD has a bug in telldir that returns incorrect results, causing memory=20
:leaks and other odd behavior. This bug was fixed in NetBSD, and I've create=
:d a=20
:patch based on NetBSD's changes. This will also add a pointer to dd_interna=
:l=20
:in dirent.h, which will probably require a version bump because the size of=20
:that struct will change. I didn't bother bumping version here because it se=
:ems=20
:it didn't effect anything (ls, du, etc), but its better to be safe than sor=
:ry.

:The code to generate the issue is here:

     Ok, I see what's going on here.  I'm going to play with it a bit,
     I don't entirely like NetBSD's solution.
