s/giq/gic/.

Care to point out where that node would be prematurely freed? I don't
see your patch addressing that either...

Do you have an example of this causing any trouble in the wild? As far

while this is definitely a bug, it wouldn't cause any harm anywhere.

Or am I missing something obvious?
