Josef, I think Pete confused you with his message.

Pete was merely pointing out that it is legal in UNIX to have a
directory with a 0 link count.  He is correct.  In his example, the
directory inode has a 0 link count because no file system object
points to it.  The reason the directory inode still exists is because
his shell's working directory is holding a reference.  You can then
"ls" the directory because ls inherits this dead directory as cwd from
the shell, and then "ls" can stat it as ".".  This is all expected and
has nothing to do with unionfs in any case.

I believe that Junjiro's patch fixes the real unionfs issue here, and
that there are no further problems.  Thanks for applying it.

alias rd='rmdir'

Historically found in SuSEs /etc/profile, some of us, who get used to it
migrated that into /etc/profile.local on newer distributions..
