Memory leak in Dir.glob on Windows

Description

=begin
I found the memory leak in Dir.glob of Ruby 1.9 (trunk) on Windows.

After running this code

ruby -e 'for i in 0..100000;Dir.glob("c:/*");end'

The memory usage is increasing steeply and never decrease.

I guess that leak is due to the several WCHAR pointers in win32.c. I noticed that pointer is allocated for MultiByteToWideChar function and not freed afterward.
=end
