    The proof of this (probably accurate) issue could also be being hidden if '/temp_gif' is not a valid mountpoint -- it seems rather plausible, though not yet proven, that './temp_gif' is what was wanted.

      Erm, since they actually did remember to put error checking on the opendir call that would catch that case.
