[snip patch changing use of readdir() function]

Can you tell me more about the operating system and file system that
you are using WWWOFFLE on.

I have never seen a file system where the first two entries in the
directory structure are not "." and "..", yours is the first.  This is
a little shortcut that has been in WWWOFFLE for a long time and it has
always worked.  It appears in many more places than just in purge.c
and they all need to be fixed.
