It was not my intention to blame anyone or anything. I'm sorry if my
previous post in this thread might have sounded like that. I just
thought (and still think) that there is a bug concerning walk_dir(), and
that now -- while we do alpha testing -- it might be the right moment to
remind of it, so that it gets fixed pretty soon.
