What's the point of adding this?
I remember a discussion on the lists here a year ago or so where it's
stated that the OS will take care of that as soon as the process exits
and that it'll do so faster than the process itself.
It seems to me that the next operation after the fts_close() is exit(eval);

yes, you are right. yet this aligns us more with NetBSD, so it is some gain. additionally, if you imagine compiling rm as a builtin to sh (we don't do that, but it is possible), freeing it is neccessary.
