Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the patch.  So that I don't lose track of it, could you file
a ticket on Launchpad and attach it there?  If you can provide a test or
a short script (in the style of those in the leakcheck directory in the
repository) which covers this case, that would also help me out a lot.

Thanks,

Jean-Paul
