It sounds like you are talking about Bug#15854. On 11 Dec 1997
the maintainer's response to the bug report included a patch to fix
it, which he said would be included in perl 5.004.04-4.
My rex system contains non-empty directories that trigger this
problem, but my bo system does not.
My local freenet (SEFLIN) uses lynx as the login shell for users,
with a menu displayed on login. The 'G' command in lynx is disabled,
thus restricting users to accessing only directories on the
parent machine and web sites that are included in the menu or sub-menus.
