Funny this should come up, I ran into the dir.h problem just yesterday.
I solved the problem by doing a read of (sizeof(dirbuf) - 1) bytes
(dirbuf being my directory structure) instead of a read of sizeof(dirbuf)
bytes.  This gave the required null, but also would not distinguish
filenames that were non-unique to 13 characters.  If anyone has any
brilliant solutions other than a mod to dir.h, I would like to hear
them.

Thanks,
