This is very difficult to fix in the VM. Obviously this is a bug in
the interaction of the SecurityPlugin and the way FilePlugin handles
file-enumerating. As a quick fix I suggest that you patch the
following method in your image:

UnixFileDirectory>>directoryExists: filenameOrPath
	"Handles the special case of testing for the root dir: there isn't a
	possibility to express the root dir as full pathname like '/foo'."

	^ filenameOrPath = '/'
		or: [ filenameOrPath = self class default
		or: [ super directoryExists: filenameOrPath ] ]

Hope this helps,
Lukas
