Yes, I reported this problem as PR kern/16349. It's a bug in our
emulation of the 64Bit version of Linux getdents() system call.
If you apply this patch ...

... to the latest kernel sources the latest the 64Bit version of the
emulated system call will be deactivated and the problem will not
show up again with "opera" or "netscape". However some problems - the
latest JDK? - which needs this call won't work anymore.

	Kind regards
