The VIR_FREE would have done thta for us IIRC. The equivalent replacement for 'VIR_FREE' is 'g_clear_pointer(&ptr, g_free)' as actually done by VIR_FREE nowadays and not just g_free. The side effect of VIR_FREE, non-equivalence to g_free combined with the fact that g_clear_pointer is longer makes this a source of possible nasty bugs.
