 I've looked at this and the Linux compat in FreeBSD uses the same structures 
 for the two getdents() calls that the Linux kernel uses.  It might be helpful 
 to modify the test program to save a copy of the directory and emit some 
 debug info when it changes (i.e. check it after each readdir() call and emit 
 hexdumps of the saved copy and changed one when it chokes along with hexdump 
 of the dirent perhaps).
