We have a SunOS 5.2 (Solaris) too. I've found this problem when I've
compiled a BBS software... If the code uses readdir() then it will get the
filenames only from the 2nd character !!! The BUG is that the Sun's cc
compiler uses the default libs from /usr/ucblib.

Set this options when you link the code, this will eliminate the problem:
cc <everything like it is> -L/usr/lib -lc <other lib parameters (-l...)>

This is because the readdir() exists in the default lib: libc. But the
original libc is buggy :)

You will get a warning that you link some lib twice.... but this is not an
error ;) and the binary will be fine!

        This will help!
          (I hope :)

PS: You can spend a lot of time to solve this bug from NULL ;) ... so tell
this to your friends using Solaris!
