There appears to be a memory leak in Xrd/XrdConfig.cc. It probably does not account for significant lost memory, but memory leaks are bad form, so I will point it out anyway. XrdConfig::xprotparms returns a string that is either malloced (using strdup) or a constant string (""). The caller does not free the string in question (since that could be tricky, but doable). The string does not appear to be saved, and so is lost. -- Gregory J.
