The variable named entry is allocated using malloc() and then
forgotten, it being shadowed by an automatic variable of the
same name. Fixing the array size at 3 worked so far because
the only caller of traverse_trees() needed only as much
entries. Simply remove the shadowing varaible and we're able
to traverse more than three trees and save stack space at the
same time!
