This bug would have generated a memleak in the error code path (which
could only run if running out of files or memory, unfortunately not a
condition that gets routinely exercised).

It's great you spotted it now, we can fix it before final 4.3. I'll
forward it to Andrew to be sure it's not missed.

Andrea
