This patch does fix the directory problem, but apparently not the
netscape wedging problem. Anyways, I have tracked it down I think,
but I'm not positive about the fix.
The problem appears to be xfs_readdir getting passed a directory
that contains an entry with dp->d_reclen zero--then it gets stuck
infinitely looping here.
