Summary

0004697: unix_putenv leaks memory

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.

Tags

No tags attached.

Notes
(0006123) xclerc (developer) 2011-09-12 13:40	The memory is now freed in the error case, but one should not free it upon successful call (as specified by the standard).
