If it's simple enough I don't mind reviewing it, but I'd really like
to rewrite this whole function to use an explicit stack. As it is now,
it blows away the stack badly on deep trees unless you ensure it's
only called from threads with rather large stacks. There's no good
reason for such a limitation, especially on a system with a PATH_MAX.
Having just written dir tree walking code for another project, I've
got this on my mind, and might try doing it sometime soon.
