Yeah, I just stuck return 1 in there just as something for the loop to do if it got there. The dirent line 
was a remnant from getdents usage. I forgot that the readdir loop will iterate through all of the entries.

The rest of the program at this point is just the interface code output by glade. I just tested the program 
by itself (renamed recurse_dir to main, changed some minor things) and it still has corruption problems. I'm 
make'ing world right now as well, in hopes that something was fixed in the system that may have been causing 
it.

Thanks for your help
