getDirectoryContents: failed (No error)

[Sigbjorn Finne]

The previous bug was in the handling of .bss sections for relocatable
object files in the RTS linker -- the fix is included in STABLE. It's
not clear that it would apply in this context though.

I'm not able to reproduce this one with last night's STABLE build.
Perhaps the bug reporter could add details on how the binary was
built & run, maybe even include "-v" on the GHC command-line?

thx
