Are you calling `findfirst' from a C++ program?  There is a known bug in 
the C++ compiler that comes with GCC 2.7.2: it doesn't pack structures, 
and struct ffblk is defined with __attribute__((packed)).

To work around, either call `findfirst' from a C function, or surround 
the definition of struct ffblk (on <dir.h>) with #pragma pack(1) ... 
#pragma pack() lines.
