>Description:
	fsck_ffs checks for directory entry is incomplete:
	it does not check if d_namlen is zero.

	OTOH, it checks if namlen > MAXNAMLEN while MAXNAMLEN is 255
	and namlen is 8-bit quantity so this check is always false.
	This check is commented out in NetBSD's fsck_ffs and
	does not exists in OpenBSD's. But they both do not check for zero value.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
	My /usr/local filesystem somehow got corrupted, one of subdirectories
	has a file with zero name length and fsck -y did not find this error.
	I was forced to apply the following patch and only then the error
	was corrected:

** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
DIRECTORY CORRUPTED  I=1531227  OWNER=root MODE=40755
SIZE=4608 MTIME=Aug 30 01:28 2011 
DIR=/obj/usr/local/src/secure/lib/libssh

SALVAGE? [yn] 

** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity
** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
LINK COUNT FILE I=24  OWNER=root MODE=100644
SIZE=892 MTIME=Sep 17 11:10 2010  COUNT 2 SHOULD BE 1
ADJUST? [yn] 

** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups
459580 files, 7411823 used, 7819495 free (105503 frags, 964249 blocks, 0.7% fragmentation)
