Re: [PATCH] Fix readdir_r with long file names

Yes. I just disagree with recommending that portable applications use
readdir_r (as discussed on the Austin Group tracker/list, it has major
problems related to NAME_MAX not being mandatory) and with the idea
(by someone else, not you) to add a readdir4 rather than just
deprecating caller-provided buffers for reading directories. Those
were the only things I was commenting on.

Carlos, what do you think about this? I tend to agree with Rich here and would like to back out this part of your suggestions again.
