You can deal with this in one of two ways:

2. Fix your malloc().
1. Use the low level open()/getdents()/close() functions instead of
   opendir()/readdir()/closedir().

And if their is concern about using opendir() then we can add
something to posix_spawn.  And attribute like POSIX_SPAWN_CLOSEALL and
you then would have to explicitly add dup and open requests for the
descriptors you want to have open.

As far as I understand, any major open source project don't use posix_spawn().
Please remind, I'm talking about real world issue.
