If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Alexander Shishkin commit 201c2f85bd0bc13b712d9c0b3d11251b182e06ae upstream. In the error path, event_file not being NULL is used to determine whether the event itself still needs to be free'd, so fix it up to avoid leaking.
