Interesting observation......  I just assummed it was the stat(2) call since the only thing 
I was doing was a "find ... >file".  I know that find (or at least the SysV version) does a 
readdir(3) syscall and I just totally ignored it.  Even it it was readdir(3), MS should not 
be triggering on-demand scanner hooks for directory-only operations.
