Thank you for the report, but since then, I've rewritten du so that
it no longer uses ftw.  Instead, it now uses fts to perform
the traversal.  These changes haven't yet appeared in a test release,
but are available in the CVS sources, here:

  http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/coreutils/

If you find problems in the rewritten version,
I'd really like to know about it.
