This happens on my system with active timer. See the following post from
14 Mar 2003 on this list:

  Yes, all the time when I was using FAT/VFAT partition for my /video.
This might be a problem in glibc seekdir, and there is a kernel patch to
avoid the problem by Trond Myklebust.  I have not tried this as I added
more disk space as /video0/ with reiserfs and the FAT partition is my
/video1/, and the bug does no harm there.

http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/
http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/2.4.20/
http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/2.4.20/linux-2.4.20-05-seekdir.dif

"   A patch that papers over a glibc bug. In glibc-2.2 and above, they
use
the new getdents64() syscall even for the 32-bit readdir. As a result,
they have problems coping with the unsigned 64-bit d_off values that may
get returned by some NFSv3 servers.

    If you are seeing problems involving files that mysteriously
disappear from your directory listings, then please consider applying
this patch.

    NOTE: You might still have to set the '32bitclients' export option
on some IRIX servers. "
