Hi Darrick,

I guess that you were talking about this bug at LSF/MM submmit this
year, right?  Thanks for reporting this bug.  I am trying to take a
closer look at it.  It would be great if you could tell me where I can
find the your test program ('flat_dir_test').

Regards,
                                                - Zheng
