Ok, you are right in this, it looks like I had read the dirname()
manpage without paying attention to that detail.

This introduces back a memory leak -- which I know it is not a huge
issue provided that Grubby is not a long-running process. Nevertheless,
going through the code and fixing those would be desirable in the long
term (IMHO).
