The whole reason why a private Scandir is used is that, for the

The fix (for my problem) is to use the system-supplied scandir() for

Thanks for the info!
Solaris 9 and earlier had scandir() in the SunOS/BSD Compatibility
Library Functions, and you had to compile with /usr/ucb/cc or link with
the libucb libraries, which could caused other linking problems. The
usual way to compile software that uses scandir() was to have a private
scandir() function which is available with many programs.
Solaris 10 (since 2005) has scandir() in the Standard C Library Functions.
Solaris 9:
SunOS/BSD Compatibility Library Functions scandir(3UCB)
NAME
scandir, alphasort - scan a directory
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/cc [ flag... ] file...
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/dir.h>
Solaris 10:
Standard C Library Functions scandir(3C)
NAME
scandir, alphasort - scan a directory
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <dirent.h>
