I have a problem with the routine scandir. After some stripping I came up with
the following program:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/dir.h>

main()
{
  struct direct **namelist;
  scandir("/bin", &namelist, NULL, NULL);
}

It dumps core. It does not do so for any other directory than /bin.
(Same behaviour on two unrelated machines.) Any reason why and any suggestions
how to solve it?
