Thanks Alan, I have missed this indeed. As this is only for the
situations where the name of the file exceeds our famous buffer,
this would just have sometimes leaked memory, hence we also only
free it if buffer2 differs from buffer after that part. Does this
make sense?

Also can someone confirm that access is part of the POSIX standard
that windows supports? Mr. Cowan maybe?

Please find the updated patch attached.

Thank you!
