Subject: Bug in dirent on Solaris 2.4 FYI [1067]

I am not sure exactly why this problem exists, but it does
	exist on 2.4 and on 2.3.

	The structure dirent as allocated by readdir() contains 3 fields,
	but the structure dirent as defined in sys/dirent.h contains 4 fields.

	The symptom of this problem occuring with wu-ftp is that when
	a client issues a NLST request they get junk.  At our site this is
	the odd case as most clients only seem to issues LIST requests
	with of course work.

	I just commented out the offending line of the sys/dirent.h file
	and now this are working just find.

	If anyony knows why may system is in this confused state, please
	email me.

	Thanks
	John LeBrun
