How reproducible is this; can you reproduce it on this one filesystem?
Can you reproduce it on multiple filesystems?  What sort of file names
are you using?

Also, are you testing by using "ls", or do you have your own program
getting the names of the files.  If the latter, are you using
telldir()/seekdir() in any way?
