Ignore my previous post, I was tired and forgot about dup(). How about
something like this? (attached)

I only tested this on Ubuntu, I don't have an OS X machine. I still went
with readdir_r because the AIX and Solaris man pages for readdir were
vague about its behavior when called from multiple threads (glibc, musl,
FreeBSD look pretty safe).

Cheers,
David
