Original bug ID: 4697
Reporter: Christoph Bauer
Assigned to: @xclerc
Status: closed (set by @xavierleroy on 2012-09-25T18:06:17Z)
Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: minor
Version: 3.11.0
Fixed in version: 3.12.1+dev
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)

Bug description

The function unix_putenv() allocates memory. It is never freed.

Maybe at least in the error case (putenv() == -1), the memory should be freed.
Or better (if portable): setenv() could be used.

The memory is now freed in the error case,
but one should not free it upon successful
call (as specified by the standard).
