My only concern here is it looks like I was dumb and used the variable name 'item' twice in the same function. I guess the compiler is smart enough to handle it but I'd like to change the name to make it clearer which 'item' is being freed in each context.
In that block I would change it to be:
char *optitem, *optstart, *optend;
and fix all the pieces in the block to then be correct too (with the needed free)

This looks good to me - thank you!

Let me know if you are happy to propose the changes as a patch-series. If you don't have time I can help and get these in ASAP as I was the original culprit.
Happy to help out with testing too as I have access to HW. Let me know.
