Actually no they didn't - they get reported as directories just fine.
But I have found the "cure" after deleting the hidden file. And it was a Homer "Doh!" moment.
I knew it couldn't be stat() - it made no sense - but the logic looked OK. Turns out that there were a number of factors at play.
1) In the past when this routine was used it was on a system where I had a default directory. On this machine I don't.
2) The directory I was attempting to list was the one that is normally my default.
3) . and .. are always there so they caused no problems - but the first file after that resulted in "not found" because the code did not prefix the retrieved file name with the directory name before doing the call to stat().
This is just a "play" program and I guess had never been run other than against the default directory.
As I said "Doh!"
Sorry to waste everybody's time. I will now go find the sackcloth and do penance!
