Subject:	rewinddir() does not work with cygwin-1.1.5-7
From:	<efifer AT dircon DOT co DOT uk>
X-Mailer:	Webmail 1.0.1

This example bombs out in the first readdir() following
a rewinddir():

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

main()
{
    DIR *dirp;
    struct dirent *dp;

    dirp = opendir(".");

    while((dp = readdir(dirp)) != NULL)
	printf("1: %s\n", dp->d_name);

    rewinddir(dirp);

    while((dp = readdir(dirp)) != NULL)
	printf("2: %s\n", dp->d_name);

    closedir(dirp);
}

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

After the Nov-9 dir.cc patch, an implicit rewind after hitting
the end of a directory disappeared and the current rewinddir()
code only resets __d_position = 0, if the directory handle is
currently open.

This seems to fix the problem:

--- dir.cc-	Thu Nov  9 17:52:40 2000
+++ dir.cc	Tue Nov 14 11:35:41 2000

 }
 
 /* closedir: POSIX 5.1.2.1 */


ChangeLog:

	* dir.cc (rewinddir): Always set __d_position = 0, so next
	  call to readdir() will restart the directory scan.

Thanks,
