The "route" of the program is absolutely normal and the is no infinite
loop (program end, I just have to be very patient).
For example to scan the /usr/ directory of a fresh installed Debian Sid,
I need about 80 Mb of RAM and 5 minutes... (to scan only 2500 files,
with a max depth of 8, e.g the number of sub/sub/../sub directories).

And here is the source code of the program: http://yojik.shtooka.net/gio.c
