[PATCH] Fix opendir


Hi!

readdir/readdir64 assume dirp->data is aligned enough for struct dirent64,
which on 32-bit NPTL arches is not true.

Unrelated question: seekdir/telldir work with long int offset instead of
off_t/off64_t. Shouldn't there be new API like ftello/fseeko
(seekdiro/telldiro/seekdiro64/telldiro64)?

2003-08-27  Jakub Jelinek  <jakub@redhat.com>

	* sysdeps/unix/opendir.c (__opendir): Make sure even struct dirent64
	fits into allocation.  Add padding on 32-bit arches so that
	dirp->data is enough aligned for struct dirent64.
	Avoid clearing of the buffer, just clear DIR structure.
