Hi John,

The memory leak fix looks good.

IIRC I was the author of the comment, so it is not surprising that I might prefer that version. "nul" is not a typo for NULL. It makes no sense to speak of character arrays being NULL-terminated. It also isn't quite right to say that readlink "generates" an array - it simply writes into one.

However, it is more correct to spell "nul" "NUL" as in ASCII(7).

If you wanted to be more precise about which readlink, you could write readlink(2) instead of readlink() to disambiguate from readlink(1)
