2.6.12-rc2-mm1: inotify and directory removal

[Sean Neakums]

Using your glib sample thingy from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/inotify/glib/

  $ mkdir snozzberries
  Event on wd=0: snozzberries, a directory, was created
  $ rmdir snozzberries
  Event on wd=0: snozzberries, a directory, was deleted

  $ mkdir snozzberries
  Event on wd=0: bunneh, a directory, was created
  $ rm -r snozzberries
  Event on wd=0: The watch was opened

Also seen, watching a directory after some other traffic:

  $ mkdir snozzberries
  Event on wd=0: snozzberries, a directory, was created
  $ rm -r snozzberries
  Event on wd=0: The watch was opened
  Event on wd=0:  was closed (was not writable)

If I use absolute paths the rmdir/mkdir case is the same.
However:

  $ mkdir ~/tmp/snozzberries
  Event on wd=0: snozzberries, a directory, was created
  $ rm -r ~/tmp/snozzberries
  Event on wd=0: snozzberries was opened

Thanks.  It was a bug in the glib utility, not inotify itself.

I fixed it in inotify-glib-0.0.2, which should appear at the above URL
as soon as the mirrors sync.

Thanks again!
