Hi Sukadev,

Thanks for debugging this. Jiri Olsa (cc'ed) warned me on this, so I did 
add the check for d_type == DT_UNKNOWN.

But, if all files have d_type == DT_UNKNOWN, you're code would from 
visual observation look to be same as mine (apart from check for '.' or 
'..' filename, which I would say is already covered by stat() and 
S_ISDIR()). Or is d_type value just unreliable?

Much appreciated,
John
