Thanks, nice catch!
Actually, the GetNext() iterator functions only return the length of 
the name - handy to be used in dirent::d_reclen.
I've fixed it r21674.

BTW I guess you've noticed r21671? It's pretty important, depending on 
your implementation of the block cache (it was "only" reading from 
beyond the block it should have, didn't write anything).

Bye,
