I'd suggest making a bug-report. ENOTEMPTY is not an optional error. Posix 
says "Shall fail".

Oh, it was apparetly "unlink()" that corrupts filesystems. Which isn't 
against Posix, it's just stupid.

The "unlink directories" is so old-fashioned that it's not even funny. The 
whole reason "rmdir()" was created was to *not* have that behaviour in the 
OS. 

So I'll have to correct my statement. Please remove the "buggy" from 
"buggy piece of crap". The rest stands.
