* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * src/du.c (prev_level): Move declaration "up" to file-scope global. (du_files): Reset prev_level to 0 upon abnormal fts_read termination. Reported by Johathan Nieder in http://bugs.debian.org/609049 Also, improve a diagnostic. * tests/du/move-dir-while-traversing: Test for the above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
