Hey Jim,

Do you know if there is any good reason why I shouldn't rip out most of
the contrived directory cache in dirent.c and just save hFile in the DIR
*, then only call _find_first() from opendir(), _find_next() from
readdir(), and _find_close() from closedir()?

It seems to me that this would save a lot of overhead, so I'm not quite
sure why it wasn't done this way in the first place.  Are there race
conditions involved if the directory changes while it is being read by
the _find* functions?

Thanks,

Derek
