Directory descriptor leak under Linux #3

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run RATS under Linux on a large directory structure (40000 directories)
2. The analysis will start skipping directory after a while stating "There was 
a problem opening the directory"

This is because the directory descriptor is never released in the code

See line 1062 in patched engine.c file
