Fixes the problem

The client used was OpenSSH 3.6.1ps SFTP, though I expect the problem would
happen with any client.

The bug is triggered because each time process_readdir is called, it collects
up to 100 entries from readdir, or until readdir returns NULL. If it collected
any entries at all, it doesn't remember which case it encountered. So it will
get called again to return more entries, so it calls readdir again, which can
start returning the entire directory listing again. And so on, and so on.
