Good catch. Fortunately these small allocations would currently never
fail, but we should fix it up nonetheless.

The fix looks correct, but you're now mixing two styles of error labels
(i.e. naming them after where you jump from and after what they do,
respectively).

Since you're touching all but one label, could you rename also the last
one after what is done and include a "free_" infix in the label names
(e.g. err_free_in_buffer, etc)?
