That''s very strange.
And I cannot reproduce too:
[root@akane dir]# for i in  `seq 1 45000` ; do mkdir $i ; done
[root@akane dir]# ls -ld .
drwxr-xr-x  45002 root root 1052672 Jan 12 16:55 .

anything above 65000 should result in nlink 1.

Indeed. This is a RH9 box so maybe the version of "ls" is old?

$ rpm -qf /bin/ls
coreutils-4.5.3-28
$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
$ uname -a
Linux master 2.4.21-40.ELcustom #2 SMP Wed Sep 20 12:54:40 CEST 2006 i686 i686
i386 GNU/Linux

But I just reproduced it again. And indeed 65000 files returns 1 when
''ls -ld .''

$ ls | wc -l
  45000
$ ls -ld .
drwxr-xr-x  32767 asdf    games     1044480 Jan 12 16:16 .


$ ls |wc -l
  66000
$ ls -ld .
drwxr-xr-x    1 asdf    games     1458176 Jan 12 16:29 .


Takes many an hours to delete this directory I might add ;)

No, wait. The first post was on 

[root@hls677 tmp]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 4)
[root@hls677 tmp]# uname -a
Linux hls677.seml.astrazeneca.net 2.6.9-42.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jul 12 23:27:17 EDT
2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

So it''s no an ''ls'' issue.

I should add that the xfs filesystem I tried this on was not on the same
machine. It was Gentoo Linux too.
