Hi mike,

my pov is different: free should (must) be called only on already
allocated pointers. I know that free code checks at begin if ptr is
null or not. Anyway I don't understand why a null pointer check before
to call free cannot be added to the code... it's safe and follows the
logical flow of the code.

I received warning from my debugger during activities on other things,
and I added this fix to my code to turn-off "possible free on null
pointer" warning from my debugger.

my 2Cents,

ciao ciao
