Re: EMC Celerra: opendir bug? [Re: in ls.c, should check errno after readdir

Ok.  The Solaris5.8 man page for readdir suggests the same thing,
so I've changed remove.c and ls.c to check for readdir failures:

	* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Use closedir (not CLOSEDIR)
	when ignoring any return value.

	* src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Detect and diagnose readdir
	failures.  On some systems (at least EMC Celerra and Solaris5.8),
	this appears to be necessary.
	(is_empty_dir): Likewise.  Also, always close directory handle.
	* src/ls.c (print_dir): Likewise.
	(print_dir): Rename local variable: reading -> dirp.
	Reported by Mike Coleman.

There remain three files in lib/ that need similar changes.

Thanks again for the report and follow-up.
