Hello,
while tracking down a bug in vesa.c which caused a crash a friend of
mine noticed a potential ressource leak in vesa.c. In line 841 the
execution is aborted via return (1); without freeing the already
allocated resources. the attached patch changes the line to "goto fail;"
which seems more correct.
