I still haven't been able to pinpoint exactly where bacula hangs up when LD_PRELOAD is set to use spd_readdir, but I have a suspect. bacula-fd gets directory entries with readdir_r, which is a function that is not reimplemented in spd_readdir. So when bacula calls opendir it gets the shadow version, which calls the original open, read, and closedir functions. It then returns its private dir_s structure. The (unshadowed) readdir_r then tries to work with dir_s. It looks as if I (or one of you gurus?) need to implement a wrapper for readdir_r. A quick looks suggests there may be a couple of subtleties (the spd_readdir struct dir_s is allocated, and so thread safe, but it's dir entry is not; and readdir_r is expecting some "real" system data structures back and users may have problems with fake ones).
