Hi,
after some time of debugging, I figured out, that the problem is the
usage of "readdir" in combination with "dirent.d_type", which is not
supported for some filesystems (including apparently XFS). When
searching for a solution, I discovered, that the problem was recently
fixed upstream. The fix affects only lib/warmux/tools/file_tools.cpp and
the latest version of the file is available here
http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/warmux/trunk/lib/warmux/tools/file_tools.cpp

The fix does not contain more changes within this file. Since the bug
affects a significant amount of users (at least everyone using XFS) I
suggest to raise severity to RC and to propagate the fix to wheezy.

For convenience I've attached the patch.

Best regards

Ben
