Re: memory leaks from calls to opendir and fopen

The patch solves the problem of opendir() but fopen() still grows the
program.  statvfs(), also, but that doesn't have a complementary call like
closedir() or fclose(), so I'm not sure what's going wrong there.  The test
program I previously provided can be easily modified to demonstrate these
remaining leaks.

The pthread mutex created by certain glibc functions didn't get freed
properly
by ngpt and that causes memory leaks.  Here is a patch for ngpt-2.0.0
release
to fix this problem. Thank you for providing a testcase and reporting this
bug.

(See attached file: ngpt-2.0.0-1.diff)

Thanks,
