It *is* possible to have a directory on the orphan list, since it is possible
to have an open-unlinked directory if one cd's into the directory before it is
unlinked (note nlink = 0, dtime is an inode number, not time):

    $ mkdir foo
    $ cd foo
    $ rmdir ../foo
    $ ls -lid .
    289432 drwxrwxr-x 0 mythtv mythtv 0 Nov  7 13:23 .
    $ sudo debugfs -c -R "stat <289432>" /dev/vg_basemyth/lvroot.basemyth
