I think we've established that recursion errors are the symptom but not
the problem (that is, unless you have directory structures deeper than
400,000 levels, but then I suspect you'd see inode problems long before
you'd have a chance to walk through them with LC).
The question is: How do we handle error conditions when a folder cannot
be accessed?
The original code you had bails because it isn't doing appropriate error
checking, and Alex' modification bails whenever it encounters a folder
it can't access.
Unless you write some code to handle that differently, it's bailing
either way.
