Does anyone know why opening a directory for reading 
doesn't complain on Linux?  It has always complained on 
Windows.  If readline() is doomed to fail, why do we allow 
opening a directory for reading at all?  OTOH, if it's not 
insane to open a directory for reading on Linux, why does 
readline() complain on Linux?
