I am very sorry for being hasty with sending the patch.

My sestatus.diff indeed contains a bug that makes double free() possible.

If strdup() fails to allocate memory, then load_checks() free():s all
the memory allocated so far, but it does not reset *npc and *nfc to zero.

Hence proccon_show() and filecon_show() might free() the memory that
has already been free():d by load_checks().

The fix patch is attached.

Apologies again.

Best regards,
vmk
