        Gerrit. Bonus points for fixing the cast too.


    I pushed a patch that replaces g_free with free. Now the problem is
    that checkAPI doesn't allow free! No way to make petri-dish pass. We
    can:


checkAPI doesn't allow free because it also doesn't allow malloc; if the
malloced memory is coming from library internals somewhere, does the
library itself have a cleanup method we could call instead?

No...



    - merge without PD
    - patch checkAPI to allow some forbidden calls in some files

    Is it worth the latter or we should be fine with the former?
