Turns out readdir_r was deprecated around a year ago: https://lwn.net/Articles/696474/

We can probably safely replace it with readdir, but should check documentation on OS X and FreeBSD to be sure. Switching away from it would help avoid problems like #54.

Sorry, I was vague. The question is whether we can count on it being thread-safe. Neither of those man-pages seems mention that.

I can easily imagine a thread-safe implementation and don't know why any non-ancient implementation wouldn't be thread-safe, but it'd be nice to know for sure.
