Aha! Removing the "-g 8" fixed it, and the 512-byte read and readdir restrictions seem to be working well (albeit slowly). That a "temporary" removal present in 7.0 has been there at least since 6.1 reminds me of an OS/360 PTF, which officially stood for "Program Temporary Fix" but was sometimes reputed to actually mean "Permanent Temporary Fix". Is there any realistic prospect of the -g option being restored in the near future? If not, perhaps I should submit a patch to update the usage() and manpage.
