Description Morten Welinder 2014-06-06 01:25:06 UTC 
The commit below introduced a leak on error in g_file_read_link.
Nothing frees "buffer".

(seperate bug report on the whole commit not working coming up)

    Unify error reporting in gfileutils.c
    
    Use the set_file_error helper function in more places,
    saving some 50 lines.

This was fixed in commit 49a5d0f6f2aed99cd78f25655f137f4448e47d92 (bug #733576).
