XFS readdir was filling in garbage after directory entry names,
there was always a zero between the name and the garbage, which
was good enough for most programs. It was not good enough for
some nfs clients (solaris and irix) which could get confused
by the output in some cases - pwd could fail on solaris for
example.
I am pushing this out to give it more air time as much as anything
else, but please try it and report back any problems, especially
if your name is Ajay Shekhawat, there is a small chance this is
your bug - but only a small one!
