For rm(1), we could add a gdb-based or LD_PRELOAD-based test.  Current rm(1)
will fail to remove a recursive directory (because some files beneath the
directory hierarchy didn't get deleted), while the fixed one will return
with an FTS error message like "readdir() failed".

Obviously, many other packages usig FTS like find(1) are also affected.

Have a nice day,
