Hi Julia,

Jesper and Dan already caught this one last week, and has been resolved
with the following patch in lio-core-2.6.git:

commit 83f8b803171751082174162cd1fa058c67d579ab
Author: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net>
Date:   Tue Aug 2 10:26:36 2011 +0200

    iscsi-target: Fix leak on failure in iscsi_copy_param_list()

This one is being queued for the next round of target fixes for
mainline.

Thanks for reporting!
