Description
The library has a function to open a directory:
apr_status_t apr_dir_open(apr_dir_t **new, const char *dirname,
apr_pool_t *pool)
{
/* On some platforms (e.g., Linux+GNU libc), d_name[] in struct
* dirent is declared with enough storage for the name. On other
* platforms (e.g., Solaris 8 for Intel), d_name is declared as a
* one-byte array. Note: gcc evaluates this at compile time.
*/
apr_size_t dirent_size =
sizeof(*(*new)->entry) +
(sizeof((*new)->entry->d_name) > 1 ? 0 : 255);
DIR *dir = opendir(dirname);
if (!dir) {
return errno;
}
(*new) = (apr_dir_t *)apr_palloc(pool, sizeof(apr_dir_t));
(*new)->pool = pool;
(*new)->dirname = apr_pstrdup(pool, dirname);
(*new)->dirstruct = dir;
(*new)->entry = apr_pcalloc(pool, dirent_size);
apr_pool_cleanup_register((*new)->pool, *new, dir_cleanup,
apr_pool_cleanup_null);
return APR_SUCCESS;
}
The problem is dirent_size computed incorrectly, as the result apache
crashes on SPARC:

As you see it is a tail of a string.
X86 Illumos defined d_name in dirent structure as char d_name1, but on SPARC
this field defined as char d_name3 (why?)
The expression from the function (sizeof((*new)->entry->d_name) > 1 ? 0 : 255)
returns 255 for x86 (because size of d_name is 1) and 0 for SPARC.
I suggest replace it by PATH_MAX from limits.h or something like that.

sizeof(struct dirent) includes d_name array in the result,
it already has an extra space (minimum one byte) for terminating '\0',
but the second part of this expression is incorrect if d_name array
has size more than one byte. On SPARC is has 3 bytes and this part
of the expression returns 0, so, we have for names only 3 bytes
including '\0' which is incorrect.

Where does the d_name being length 3 on SPARC come from? It's defined as 1 on both SPARC and X86.
I've tested this on x86 and sparc, and the original apr code works correctly for me.
