avati:

almost but not quite. rm -rf on linux source ran perfectly until 741 items were left and then fell into the lseek behavior.

Daniel,
 Awesome! the bug was in readdir which was not flushing cache on seek
(rewinddir), hence used to return stale (deleted) entries which used to put
it in a loop. So rm -rf should work smooth now..

good catch! and thanks :)
