dircache.listidir('some_non_existent_directory') simply
returns an empty list.  That's inconsistent with os.listdir
which raises an OSError exception.  I think
dircache.listdir
should also raise an exception if the directory can't
be read.
At minimum, though, the difference should be documented.

I agree.  I posted patch #707167 to
make it raise the error.

Fixed with said patch for 2.4.
