If ((char *)de == dir_end) is true, the name_len will not be used
in the subsequent routine. So the reset code can be removed.

Thanks for the patch. I agree with your analysis but I prefer to keep the
code as is - it prevents warnings about uninitialized variable being used
for compilers than cannot infer that and also for humans reading the code
is easier this way.
