How come?  From http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2005/Nov/0001.html

  "Programs using readdir_r may be able to use readdir. [...] for
   portability the use of readdir in a multithreaded program should be
   controlled using a mutex."

Am I missing something here?  (I'm really not an expert in this...)
