Anyone else had trouble with directory listing?

heres a snip of code:

SceIoDirent findData;
int findStatus;

SceUID hFind = sceIoDopen&#40;pFindPattern&#41;;
DBGASSERT&#40;hFind >= 0, "Couldnt start find.."&#41;;

findStatus = sceIoDread&#40;hFind, &findData&#41;;

DBGASSERT&#40;false, STR&#40;"hmmmm %d.. i crash before i ever get here...", findStatus&#41;&#41;;

any ideas?
this is correct usage right?

when it calls sceIoDread(), it locks up and then turns the PSP off...

It gets unhappy if findData is on the stack. Make it a global and it works ok. I found this out by trial and error. I have no idea why it works this way.

and i've immediately hit another wall....

that function now succeeds... the first file it returns is '.' .. then i call the function again, and it returns 0 (no more files?) ..

the directory is definately populated.. and i can open files and read them directly.. they just dont seem to show in the directory listing.. :/

an interesting behaviour i found is, if i search on a path with a '/' on the end, the file it finds is named '.' .. if i search on a path without the '/' .. the file it returns is named '/.' .. this seems weird to me ... i'll keep playing with it..

Actually, you have to memset() the dirent before calling sceIoDread(). Then it works on stack or global.

Interesting you say that, because you are able to use the same buffer over and over again with only setting dir.file[0]='\0' (emptying the filename) without memsets in between, but that doesn't work on its own.
Just luck I suppose.
