Ignoring symlinked directories would be a surprising behaviour from a program, 
I'm afraid :-/ Perhaps you could insert the inode number in your list and 
skip any directories whose inodes was already in there? It would probably be 
worth it to keep this list sorted. The "right" implementation would be a hash 
of list, of course, but that's probably not worth the bother unless you have 
such a hash implementation lying around.
