Log:
 Report the next directory being scanned when a ^T is pressed (or any

The impatient should use a tracing utility instead of encrufting
individual utilities.

 This
 won't report that we're blocking in our walk due to disk/network
 problems, however.  There's no really good way to report that
 condition that I'm aware of...

Tracing utilities coulld be extended to report kernel info.  E.g.,
the current [blocked] syscall can be found and reported in the same
way and detail that ddb does for backtrace and ps.  Names would be
harder to find, but a full backtrace normally locates what is blocking.
