Yow -- I'd forgotten I wrote that.  Anyhow, the BSD version of scandir is
a little better and you might want to get it from the free BSD source tree,
instead.  As I recall, the thing that made it better is that it did a stat
of the directory and then did st.st_size/24 to get the original number of
entries to malloc, so it would pretty much never malloc.
