Hi Leon,
Thanks for your review.

That's certainly true. However this is still a leak in the time frame
between get_task_name function call and the application exit. For
example:

$ ip -d -b - << EOF
tuntap show
monitor
EOF

calls get_task_name one or more time (once for each tun interface), and
leaks memory indefinitely, if ip is not interrupted in some way.

Of course this is a corner case, and the leaks should anyway be small.
However I cannot see this as a good reason not to fix it.

Thanks for letting me know. I usually rely a lot on Fixes: as iproute2
package maintainer, but I'll change my habits if this is the common
understanding. Stephen, David, WDYT?
