+/* The d_nameln member of a struct dirent includes the '\0' character
+ on some systems, but not on others. What's worse, you can't tell
+ at compile-time which one it will be, since it really depends on
+ the sort of system providing the filesystem you're reading from,
+ not the system you are running on. Paul Eggert
+ <eggert@bi.twinsun.com> says this occurs when Emacs is running on a
+ SunOS 4.1.2 host, reading a directory that is remote-mounted from a
+ Solaris 2.1 host and is in a native Solaris 2.1 filesystem.
+
+ Since applying strlen to the name always works, we'll just do that. */
