Why don't you use the while ... do ... done loop instead with an
external reference ?
let list = ref [] in
let dir = opendir "......." in
try
while true do
match readdir dir with
"." | ".." -> ()
| filename -> list := filename :: !list
done
with End_of_file -> !list
Recursive functions are elegant to use, but sometimes, it is simpler
to use simple loops instead.
