That's the traceback, thanks.  I filed
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/297831> regarding this.  It looks
like there is a bug, probably a portability bug, in readdir._pyx, in
how it's dealing with the OS.

You may be able to work around this for the moment by moving the
_readdir_pyx.so file in the bzlib directory, eg to
_readdir_pyx.so.bad.  It would be helpful to know if that fixes it.
