I mean *appeared* in 0.7.40, i.e. problem exists in 0.7.40 but not 
in 0.7.39.  But after some thinking it's most likely 0.7.15 when 
dirent.d_type checking was initially introduced (i.e. problem exists in 
0.7.15 but not in 0.7.14).

You system has dirent.d_type, but it looks like it's something 
wrong with it.  I've tried to reproduce problem on vmware image of 
CentOS 5.3 i386 - but failed, everythings works ok.  I've even 
tried initial release version and fully updated one (with 
2.6.18-128.1.16.el5 kernel), no problems found.

It's either x64 only issue, or something wrong with headers on 
your server(s).  Unfortenately I have no x64 version on hand to 
test it there, but people report that everything is ok at least on 
other x64 distributions.

Could you please check your headers, most notably 
/usr/include/dirent.h and /usr/include/bits/dirent.h?
