According to these mails, the issue you've hit is different: what occurs to errno if readdir() returns NULL. This is indeed strange but documented. But what occurs to errno if readdir() does *not* return NULL? I thought that errno would not be modified in this case, but as far as I know the Posix man page is silent on the subject, and it might be the cause of Vasily's report.
