Calling opendir, readdir for empty removeable drive pops up SEM dialog

Calling opendir or readdir on empty floppy or CD drive causes the SEM
dialog box (No disk in drive..Abort/Retry/Ignore) to pop up. Trying to
get the Ignore button to work eventually cause seg fault.
A workaround is to bracket calls to these functions with
SetErrorMode((SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS | SEM_NOOPENFILEERRORBOX)); /*
disable SEM */
and
SetErrorMode(0) /* enable */
This effectively presses Ignore for you without the SEM dialog:
GetLastError returns 21 (ERROR_NOT_READY) which is what the Ignore
reponse should do.
