Subject:	patch to winsup981020: link count for directories

In syscalls.cc the function `num_entries()' is only used,
to count links to directories. Unfortunately, the link
count is made from a count of _all_ entries in the
directory. If this function would count only the entries,
which are also directories, the link count would be
correct. This leads to the following patch.

Regards,
Corinna
