[Editor's note: Reading a directory does not automagically makes all the other filesystem
functions *know* what dir has been read. This is problem in your coding logic, not a shortcoming of
the filesize() function, which would work correctly if you pass the full path to the file.]
When executing a "readdir" command, filesize doesn't seem able to get the size of
some files if they aren't in the same directory as the script. The workaround to this is
changing the working directory with "chdir" in addition to "readdir".
