No need to free(ps_matched) immediately before exiting.  There are
other recources (like pathspec) we are holding and not clearing, and
we do not want to bother cleaning them all.

As we have another "if failed, die()" immediately after this hunk,
adding another exit() would be OK.  Shouldn't we be exiting with 128
to match what die() does, though?

Other than that, looking good.
