In existing implementations including FreeBSD, there is no reason to use
readdir_r() in the common case where potentially multiple threads each list
their own directory. Code using readdir() is simpler.
What's more, lthough readdir_r() can safely be used on FreeBSD because
NAME_MAX is forced to 255, it cannot be used safely on systems where
{NAME_MAX} is not fixed. As a concrete example, FAT/NTFS filenames can be up
to 255 UTF-16 code units long, which can be up to 765 UTF-8 bytes.
Deprecating readdir_r() in POSIX has been proposed in
http://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=696
and glibc wants to deprecate it as well.

as seek to teh last location saved will still work. This is needed for Samba
to be able to correctly handle delete requests from windows. This does not
completely fix seekdir when deletes are present but fixes the worst of the
problems. The real solution must involve some changes to the API for eh VFS
and getdirentries(2).

requires the return value of telldir() to equal the value passed to
seekdir(). The current seekdir code with SINGLEUSE enabled breaks
this case as each call to telldir() allocates a new cookie. Instead,
remove the SINGLEUSE code and change telldir() to look for an existing
cookie for the directory's current location rather than always creating
a new cookie.

per-DIR basis (for MT-safety). For now, this change does
the following:
o Remove the hash table from telldir.c. Recode to use queue
macros.
o Remove 'const' from 'telldir(const DIR *)'.
