This seems to imply it worked before?  On Solaris?

Yes, the patch was broken and replaced[*].

>From reading the code I don't see how it should work on Solaris 9, since
the recursion code requires a dirent.d_type, which isn't available on
Solaris 9 (the code is enclosed within an #ifdef _DIRENT_HAVE_D_TYPE).
The existence of a dirent.h header won't suffice.
