BUG #4494: Memory leak in pg_regress.c

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 4494
Logged by:
Email address: dvice_null(at)yahoo(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: Latest cvs
Operating system: Error in source code
Description: Memory leak in pg_regress.c
Details:

In file src/test/regress/pg_regress.c:1112

It seems to me that variables "s" and "tmp" leak memory here if last_dot is
false:

static char *
get_alternative_expectfile(const char *expectfile, int i)
{
char *last_dot;
int ssize = strlen(expectfile) + 2 + 1;
char *tmp = (char *) malloc(ssize);
char *s = (char *) malloc(ssize);

strcpy(tmp, expectfile);
last_dot = strrchr(tmp, '.');
if (!last_dot)
return NULL;
*last_dot = '\0';
snprintf(s, ssize, "%s_%d.%s", tmp, i, last_dot + 1);
free(tmp);
return s;
}

OK. It seems as a bug. tmp and s should be freed when strrchr fails. Also there
is not check when malloc fails.
