OK, do you have _anything_ that would (a) stay constant and (b) would be
easy for search? The underlying assumption in getdents() is that offsets
stay constant - just as with the contents of file. I'm too lazy to look
into the POSIX, but I suspect that it is in standards.
Let's do it that way: could you describe the structure of your
directories? Then I would probably be able to help with that.
