need help with scandir...

[Duke <ezbonites@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
I'm using the scandir(3) in a program. This is in a void routing that
creates the struct "struct dirent **filelist = {0};"
However, this often times reports an invalid memory access when I
repeat the routine.
It looks pretty much the same as in the man pages:

void my_dir scan()
{
   .......
   struct dirent **filelist = {0};
   .....

   filecount = scandir("/tmp/usbstick", &filelist, 0, alphasort);
   .....

   for(i = 0; i < filecount; i++)
   {
       .....
    free(filelist[i]);
    }
free(filelist);
}

If I run my_dir_scan()  I may get an invalid memory (seg fault) at the
scandir line or it may occur after I ran it two or three times.

Does anyone know why this occurs??

Thanks.
