But as you know, this specific behavior isn't documented. Generally with
any iteration API's (on any platform or library) you should assume the
iterator variable is a black box unless the docs say otherwise. See struct
DmSearchStateType in DataMgr.h for an extreme example of opaqueness.

Well if the Sony implementation still conforms to the documentation (which
it does) but your code doesn't work, then it's definitely not kosher.

Sounds like you need to cache all the file names up front during the
iteration even though this takes extra time and space. And this probably
proves that it's smart to test on HostFS as well as a "real" FS.
