I've checked in a fix! You used child->next *after* doing the
free_stat_node() call on that child node, which obviously isn't a good idea.

In a debug build, MSVC fills in a specific memory pattern (e.g.
0xfeeefeee) to enable a developer to track down this kind of problems,
where memory is accessed which was freed already before.

... so Windows might not be that bad at all ;-)
