Yes, that was no problem. It seems the problem is that glob and readdir result in different file numbers for a directory. Therefore sometimes there is not enough memory allocated causing memory overrides.

Adding some additional memory to be on the safe side should fix it:

	cnt = glob_results.gl_pathc +2; //add two for . and ..
	cnt += 100; //glob and readdir report different file numbers
