This is complete nonsense.  Something is terribly broken.

We had a similar problem with someone during the pretest.  I think the
reason was that the `readdir' library function was completely broken
on his system.  Could it be that you have some problem with your C
library, maybe it doesn't match the version of your OS kernel or
something?

Just to be sure it's the same problem as what I recall: what does the
following command produce in "emacs -q --no-site-file"?
