Yes, the script complained about other exit paths too, but I have not investigated
whenever those other cleanup functions free the initially allocated memory or not.
The code does not look pretty to me, I am only 50% through list of potential leaks,
so I do not want to spends lots of time on specific things right now, my current
goal is to make number of false positives down.
