commit ac73bc9de624d322b318c2eda0ace7f0bee97a64
Author: Igor Slepchin <igor.slepchin at gmail.com>

    Fix memory corruption.
    
    g_free(c) in the original code was freeing memory at the pointer
    that was incremented a few times since the allocation.
    
    This is similar to ubuntu bug #899290 and fedora bug 589898.
