Hello,

this is a little error in your logic,
$d->read() returns a string, and the is_dir() only checks in the _current_ directory for that string.
Aparrantly you don't have (p.e.) bin in your current dir, so is_dir() failed on it.
I'm checking if I can make this a warning, but I'm closing this report now, because it's not a bug.

Ok, I bumbed up the error level from E_NOTICE to E_WARNING.
