quick-read: Fix dirname(3) usage
glibc dirname() modify the string it is given and returns it. glusterfs takes this behavior for granted, and assume that if it gives a malloc'ed string to dirname(), then it can free()) the return value. Here is what SUSv2 says: http://opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/dirname.html "The dirname() function may modify the string pointed to by path, and may return a pointer to static storage" At least NetBSD returns a static storage. glusterfs will return it to a calling function that has the responsability to free it, causing a SIGSEGV.
