Won't swear to it, but I don't think it leaks. All of the memory allocated
in scandir should end up as part of namelist, which is returned to the
calling method. The calling method is responsible for freeing that memory
after it has extracted the information it needs.
However, I am not at all certain that the calling function is properly
cleaning up after itself. I believe the delete [] namelist is only going
to free up the pointers, not the actual dirent struct's. Or maybe I am
just too tired ;) There is also a bit of ugliness in that scandir is
using malloc/realloc for allocation and the calling function is using
delete for deallocation.
