[PATCH] ls - fails in a directory with >6M files

[Kamil Dudka]

Hello,

as solution to rhbz #441807 (/bin/ls fails in a directory with >6M files)
I propose tiny patch for ls - work with constant amount of memory when not 
sorting and using one_per_line format, no matter how many files are in the 
directory.

Tested with directory of about 10000 files.

Git version:
$ ulimit -v 102400
$ ls -U1 | wc -l
ls: memory exhausted
0

Patched version:
$ ulimit -v 102400
$ ls -U1 | wc -l
102402
