Re: [Bluez-devel] Cleaning up after sdp_get_access_protos()

Hi Marcel, Daryl,

Daryl is correct. I have committed his fix to CVS.

For future reference, valgrind is a big help for this sort of thing. (If
your platform isn't x86, if you run your program on x86 it can show up
errors, even if they're benign on x86, if you see what I mean.)

% valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes sdptool browse local
