When chmod recursively walks dirs it was keeping the fd's open. Now it will buffer all paths of a directory in a vec and then walks these after closing the fd.
Note: I was only able to create a nested dir in the testing framework of a depth of 400 (if i try a deeper dir structure mkdir_all() fails with 'Filename too long'). If anyone can give me tips how to extend the depth to 30k like in the issue i am happy to extend the test.
