Hi Dave,

People found two more bugs, so I have two more fixes. Both are related to
memory - one's a leak, the other is a missing allocation failure check.

These are both tagged for stable already, and shouldn't conflict with any
other patches, so if they won't go in any more it won't be a big deal.

Let me know if there's any problem.

Thanks,
johannes
