Subject:   readdir_r vs readdir in libc_r?

I'm using FreeBSD 3.3-R and have noted that there's a readdir() in libc_r
but no readdir_r().

Based on archived messages from last year, it appears that the readir() in
libc_r is not reentrant. To access readdir from multiple threads with
different DIR entries, it appears that all of the directory functions must
be protected by a locking mechanism.

What is the current status of this?

Charles
