Bug Description
My backup program backs up Windows machines by mounting the administrative shares.
On one machine, the one connected wirelessly, it sometimes sees a directory empty.
No error is reported, no message in the log, no errno set, nothing, just the directory reported empty, a different one every time.
Googled for it and found nothing... don't know to which upstream to report this...
(Running 8.04)
update: after adding some more debug, I can see scandir is returning less elements than there really are. Summary updated accordingly...
update2: errno is _not_ set.

This bug was reported against the linux-meta package when it likely should have been reported against the linux package instead. We are automatically transitioning this to the linux kernel package so that the appropriate teams are notified and made aware of this issue. Thanks.
