User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
Build ID: 20110622232440

Steps to reproduce:

I run cppcheck 1.49 on the latest source, and I found several bugs.
This is one of them.


Actual results:

Memory was allocated with strdup(), and freed with g_free.
strdup uses malloc() and that causes a memory allocation/deallocation mismatch.


Expected results:

g_strdup should be used, as in the attached files you can see.
