+ * POSIX says that a dirent name cannot contain NULL or a '/'.

+ * It's not 100% clear what we should really do in this case.
+ * The filesystem is clearly corrupted, but returning a hard
+ * error means that you now don't see any of the other names
+ * either, so that isn't a perfect alternative.
+ *
+ * And if you return an error, what error do you use? Several
+ * filesystems seem to have decided on EUCLEAN being the error
+ * code for EFSCORRUPTED, and that may be the error to use. Or
+ * just EIO, which is perhaps more obvious to users.
+ *
+ * In order to see the other file names in the directory, the
+ * caller might want to make this a "soft" error: skip the
+ * entry, and return the error at the end instead.
+ *
+ * Note that this should likely do a "memchr(name, 0, len)"
+ * check too, since that would be filesystem corruption as
+ * well. However, that case can't actually confuse user space,
+ * which has to do a strlen() on the name anyway to find the
+ * filename length, and the above "soft error" worry means
+ * that it's probably better left alone until we have that
+ * issue clarified.
