Thanks very much for fixing this, Christophe.

The fix looks correct to me. If it can still fold into the previous change, all the better.

Best,
Daniel

PS: without trying to complicate this thread, does one know idr.[ch] well enough to state
whether ida_free() could have gone into stdev_release()? The way the two idr_free calls have
been placed looks intentional. But stdev_release would look more obvious + cleaner to me.
Was only starting to wonder while reviewing the err_put side of this patch.
