Is there any chance you're using /usr/ucb/cc on Solaris?  I've seen a
problem when using this compiler with the opendir/readdir functions. 
Under cc, the dirent structure is incorrect and the d_name starts two
bytes too early so you lose the first two characters of the file name. 
To see this happen try the following program with /usr/ucb/cc:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <dirent.h>

int main()
{
    DIR *dir;
    struct dirent *dirent;

    if (!(dir = opendir("."))) {
	perror("opendir");
	return 1;
    }

    while (dirent = readdir(dir)) {
	puts(dirent->d_name);
    }

    closedir(dir);
    return 0;
}

Assuming this is the problem, switch to gcc.
