I am trying to get the  4.3 Tahoe dump/restore/rmt stuff to run
uder SunOS 3.5.  rdump seems to work fine, but rrestore does not.

In dirs.c around line 108 there is the code:
		if (ip == NULL || (ip->di_mode & IFMT) != IFDIR) {
			(void) fclose(df);
			dirp = opendir(dirfile);
			if (dirp == NULL) 
				perror("opendir");
			if (mf != NULL)
				(void) fclose(mf);
			i = dirlookup(".");

Two problems I see here.  
	1) dirfile is NOT a directory but a file (created by rrestore)
	2) If dirp == NULL, then in addtion to  the perror call, exit
	   should also be called.

My question then is why is the code trying to open a directory that
does NOT exist.

Thanks for any help/suggestions/bug fixes etc...
