Could this be > the issue? As Avati points out, that's the EOF marker so it's fine. It might be interesting to run this on the client as well, to see how those values relate to those on the bricks - especially at the point where you see skipping or looping. You might also want to modify it to print out d_name as well, so that you can see the file names and correlate things more easily.
