Subject: mingwin: dirent structure d_name field is pointer not array
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0102221409230.855-100000@localhost.localdomain>

I'm not sure if this counts as a bug, but readdir as defined by POSIX has a
field char d_name[], but in mingwin it's a char *, which caused me a fair
amount of grief working out why I was getting rubbish for the contents of
directories...
