Thanks for the patch. It is obviously correct.
But I am not sure that there is any real memory corruption. Obviously
there would be, if any of the callers modified the allocated memory.
But I do not see any of the chain of callers doing that: I only see them
reading it and eventually freeing it. This will not corrupt any
memory. Do you see anything different?
Thanks,
Ben.
