I think this patch should be folded into the second patch of this series.  While
this patch makes the warning go away, it doesn't really solve any problems by
itself.  It just papers over the warning.  My first reaction on seeing this patch
is that the warning exists because the memory for the mask likely had
been incorrectly managed, which is exactly the case.  Since this patch doesn't
really fix a problem on its own, I'd say merge it into the second patch.

That's just my $.02.  If you really want to keep it separate, that's not a
blocker for me.
