Its a "File System" feature!
In today's file systems, the first two entries are "." and ".." directories.
One exception to this rule is the FAT file systems which does not contain
these two entries.
So if you seach the entire directory, the first two names that will be
returned are "." and ".." unless you search a FAT partition or a floopy.
All languages including Ada, C, JAVA that have directory search routine
will act in same way.
