Good catch, although I find it highly suspect on the part of the system 
library authors for those platforms that they would defined struct dirent 
such that it still can't be used with readdir_r().  Especially since (at 
least on my man page), struct dirent is what is supposed to be passed as the 
second parameter to readdir_r, which then initializes it.  But whatever, even 
if it isn't a KDE bug, we can work around it.

Please continue this at bug 95830 (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95830), 
as I'm working on a potential patch.
