Hi,
I don't see a second attempt to free the array. In here, just dp gets
closed and the scan_el_dir string freed.
And in generic_buffer.c where it is accessed in the main function, there
is a jump into the error handler in case of an error, which just frees a
few strings (datardytrigger, trigger_name and dev_dir_name).
Any opinion welcome.
Thanks,

Hartmut
