Package: libc6
Version: 2.2.5-3
Severity: normal

If ftw() or nftw() is run on a directory that the invoking user can't
read (such as a mode 0100 directory), it immediatly returns -1 without
calling the callback function. The man page seems to indicate that it
would call the function once with FTW_DNR. This is what it does if the
non-readable directory is somewhere underneath the directory it is run
on.

The LSB test suite doesn't like this, but I'm not sure if it violates
any X/Open, since I don't have a copy of that standard.

  I just tested, this works now with experimental glibc at least.
