Well, if you look at the implementation of g_strerror(), you can see that glib returns allocated memory here (with g_strdup() for example). So if we don't free, this will leak memory over time. But you're right, the "const" and documentation of the function indicate that the caller should rather not free the memory. What a bummer, sounds like g_strerror() is pretty much useless unless you immediately exit() afterwards (and you care about not leaking memory). I guess we have to implement our own wrapper, qemu_strerror() instead? Thomas
