I think the most likely explanation is that closedir succeeded, but 
errno was -1 for some random reason, and the exception was thrown 
without without an actual error.  It's still odd that errno was -1, 
though, but it can obviously happen, it's just some thread-local 
variable, after all.

Yes, it's clear that the new code is more correct. :-)
