Thank you, committed.

Just for clarity, there is no technical requirement that g_strndup() or
similar should be followed by a g_free() instead of free().
g_free() simply calls free() with the difference that it checks for a
NULL pointer before which is good in most cases.
And using g_free() there is also better for readability.

Enrico
