dir() only works with file/dir names >= 6 chars? (irix)

Hi Folks, I have run into a problem using the dir() function. The following code behaves properly on linux and does not using irix: Contents of the dir (only folders) are: CH104/ CH105/ CH120/ ABCDEFGHIJKL/ abcdefghijkl/ When I execute the following code: chdir("$dir_path"); echo ("Dir Path = $dir_path<br>"); $dir = dir("."); $dir -> rewind(); $file=$dir->read(); echo ("file is $file<br>\n"); $file=$dir->read(); echo ("file is $file<br>\n"); $file=$dir->read(); echo ("file is $file<br>\n"); $file=$dir->read(); echo ("file is $file<br>\n"); I get the following incorrect results (php 4.0.2, irix 6.5.7) Dir Path = /Public/Web/db/msds file is . file is .. file is CH104 file is CH105 file is CH120 file is ABCDEFþõ~KL file is abcdefþõ~kl So, it appears that if the dir (or file) is less than or equal to 6 char the dir() function work correctly. However, if it is longer, the name get garbled. On a redhat linux box (php 4.0.2), it works fine and I get proper dir names. This behavior is the same for filenames not just dir names. I have checked the bugs.php.net and email lists without finding information related to this problem. Hope I have not missed it some where... Has anyone seen this or am I missing something? Or, maybe likely, this is just a bug. If so, I will submit it to the bug database. Thanks for any suggestions!
