Dear Maintainer,

After running 'srm -r directory' the following warning is shown:
	Warning: Couldn't find a free filename for directory!

Tested with ext4 and tmpfs filesystems only.

Best Regards,

Hello Manolo,

I am the new maintainer of the package secure-delete for a few months,
and this bu report is more than 3 years old.

Please can you tell me what srm prints when called with the -v switch?
(verbose mode).

By the way, can you also provide me a tarball of a minimal filesystem
which would trigger the bug you reported?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,			Georges.
