I've created a new snapshot 2012-02-02. Can you please test it? AFAICS I got rid of the memory leak. A recent change broke the fdopendir handling entirely, apparently. I tested it with a full `find /' scan and I didn't have any problem... ...except that find ran into an infinite loop in /proc/registry. It turned out that this is a result of registry virtualization under UAC. I fixed that by treating the affected registry keys(*) as symlink, rather than as directory.
