      struct dirent * (* NameList [ ]);
    
    may produce core if not initially set to nil
    
    API documentation states The memory allocated to the
    array [NameList] can be deallocated by freeing each
    pointer
    in the array, and the array itself, with the free
    subroutine.
    
    scandir/scandir64 should set NameList array to nil if no
    memory
    has been allocated.
