[bug #63330] readdir() error in 4.4 on Solaris 8

[Paul D. Smith]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #63330 (project make):

Oh, actually that can't be it.  I forgot that ENULLLOOP() sets errno=0 before
it tries the command.

Hm.  Well, POSIX does allow EOVERFLOW to be returned by readdir() (that's the
error you see).  So maybe there's something about the directory it's trying to
read, that is problematic.

You may need to enhance the error message to show the name of the directory
being parsed, then if you use "ls -al" on it do you see anything strange
there?

For more debugging you could also show each filename as this readdir() reads
it in, then perhaps you'd get an idea of which one is causing the problem
(maybe).
