I understand that this can look a naive question, but I'm not stupid. I'm *sure* that 
there is a bug somewere. Now I've built on my mac two tools with exactly this code; the 
first of them with Xcode, the other one with GNUstep (gnu-gnu-gnu). The output of the 
first tool is about the same of "find / -type d", while the second tool doesn't 
exit from the while loop; when it arrives to the last found object, it restarts from the 
beginning.
