    _______________________________________________________

Details:

For those cases when readdir() returns DT_UNKNOWN and lstat() returns
-1/EACCES, allow "-type u" to match.

This would be particularly useful in AFS-served directories for which only
"l" ("list") access is available, as any entry therein that is not a
subdirectory will present such a situation.
