Oh, it was apparetly "unlink()" that corrupts filesystems. Which isn't 
against Posix, it's just stupid.

The "unlink directories" is so old-fashioned that it's not even funny. The 
whole reason "rmdir()" was created was to *not* have that behaviour in the 
OS. 

So I'll have to correct my statement. Please remove the "buggy" from 
"buggy piece of crap". The rest stands.
