Re: halt with readdir

this will not fix the error, bit what happens if you use edtf and option 6 
to count the number of files in that directory.

for example if the files are in /home/pdf use edtf '/home' and put a 6 in 
front of the pdf directory.

if you are using 27x132 display you should see more info.

I guess I am just wondering if that is the right count for the number of 
files...
