Re: problems specifying directories in the spec fil

["Aaron.Sterr" <Aaron Sterr tradingscreen com>]

Looking into this some more, I see the following behaviour (using truss):

1. if there is no regular file in the directory, I see a stat of the directory
   followed by getdents, but no stats of the files in the directory.

2. if there is a regular file in the directory, I see a stat of the directory,
   getdents, then stats of each entry, but it does not seem to recurse.

3. if there is no subdirectory, after processing the directory, the 
   directory is close, and I see a stat, open, mmap, memcntl, munmap, close
   of each file in the directory.

If this expected behavior?  Only in case 3, do I see any output beyond the
"Processing files" line.  

Unless I am missing a macro or parameter somewhere, I believe the problem
is in build/files.c
