The kernel bug is clear and well understood:
The open() system calls returns succesfully when the path points to a
REGULAR file from an HFS mount point, and the open flags include
O_DIRECTORY. Then, glibc is lrued into returning success on opendir(),
instead of failing with errno = EISDIR, as required by POSIX. And then,
VLC thinks the REGULAR file is a directory, even though it's not.
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => New
