As I understand things, the search is done under collect-sub*directories-asd-files.

This is a search function; would that be an appropriate place to add a VISITED (closed) set?

The one thing I'm not sure about is what the DIRECTORY argument is? Is this always an absolute path? Is this ever a symbolic link, or are symbolic links always resolved?

The visited list will only work (or only be easy to implement, anyway!) if the directories are canonically named. If there could be aliasing, things will be much more difficult.
