Public bug reported:
in fs_util the next() function makes use of ::readdir and in particular
d_type which is not supported by all file system types (cf readdir man
page).
If d_type is not supported it will be set to DT_UNKNOWN also for the
file system entries "." and "..". Consequently, these entries are not
skipped and file:list will recursively infinitely list entries:
/.
/./.
/././.
/./././.
/././././.
/./././././.
.. etc
