As a data point, I'm getting crashes on NetBSD 3.1 and samba 3.0.28a on a FFSv2
partition.

Removing the lib/replace/repdir_getdirentries.c gets it working (even without
"directory name cache size = 0"). I'm not sure of the canonical way to remove
it, the patch at https://bugzilla.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=2905 does not
work, nor does removing repdir.m4 entirely. I ended up editing source/Makefile
and removing the .o files from LIBREPLACE_OBJ.

I note the changes in OpenBSD and NetBSD to fix the seekdir() problem, but they
didn't seem to help me.
