The listfiles example will fail if you have more than 26 files because it fails to close the files and you run out of file handles.
I discovered this, not by having too many files, but by rewinding the directory as I was scrolling through the files with an LCD GUI.
It's a simple fix, just make sure you close the files when iterating over a directory.
I filed a bug:
