[Yaffs] yaffs_guts question

Hi,

Is it true that everywhere the parent->variantType is set to
YAFFS_OBJECT_TYPE_DIRECTORY that the INIT_LIST_HEAD should be called
on variant.directoryVariant.children?

I have an issue where parent->variantType is being set to
YAFFS_OBJECT_TYPE_DIRECTORY but the
variant.directoryVariant.children.next is never set so it
ends up crashing at

------------------------------------------------------------------
/* Now add it */
list_add(&obj->siblings, &directory->variant.directoryVariant.children);
------------------------------------------------------------------

inside yaffs_AddObjectToDirectory()

The variantType is being set to YAFFS_OBJECT_TYPE_DIRECTORY here:
------------------------------------------------------------------
/* we need to load this info */

in->valid = 1;
in->variantType = oh->type;
------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks very much for any guidance.

Rick Bronson
