The "closedir" in AT&T's S5R3.[01] implementation consists of just the
three calls: two frees and a close.  There is no error checking of any
kind, unless you count the fact that the return value of the "close" is
the return value of "closedir".... 

In other words, your observation about the contents of your system's
"closedir" is not at all inconsistent with Doug's hypothesis that
Microport is using AT&T's standard "closedir".
