In UNIX a Dir is a represented as a file internally so the possible max dir
size ia same as for a file.
further, each entry may require an inode (hard links are exceptions) so the
max possible entries for a directory depends upon the number of inodes in the
filesystes also. my answer is baced on FFS.
