No, strbuf_release(&sb) frees 'sb.buf', causing 'path' to point to
unallocated memory. You can fix that by doing something along these
lines on top:

 	va_end(args);
-	path = sb.buf;
+	path = xstrdup(cleanup_path(path));

 	strbuf_release(&sb);
-	return xstrdup(cleanup_path(path));
+	return path;
 }
