True, but if there were leaks on the main path, I'd have reported
them before a leak on an error path.

More detail:

$ ~/cppcheck/trunk/cppcheck --enable=all usr/src/sbin/newfs_msdos/mkfs_msdos.c
Checking usr/src/sbin/newfs_msdos/mkfs_msdos.c...
[usr/src/sbin/newfs_msdos/mkfs_msdos.c:586]: (error) Memory leak: img
$ 

I see no evidence of any other memory leaks, or any other detectable problems,
in the source code file.

A patch for the leak has been produced, problem closed AFAIK.
