SUMMARY: ufs_readir: bad dir

Well, the problem seems to have been a bunch of corrupted inodes. When I
took the machine down to single-user mode and ran fsck, I found many, many
errors. I ended up fixing the filesystem, then removing all the files and
restoring them from a backup. Fortunately, the only thing on this
partition was my /user/openwin directory.

Thanks to Tim Villa for trying to help out, and giving me some sanity checks.
