From: Johannes Sixt [mailto:j6t@kdbg.org] Don't use x* wrappers in
the compat layer, at least not those that allocate
memory: They behave unpredictably due to try_to_free_routine and may
lead to recursive invocations.

I was just following orders ;-)
What about the other proposal, xmemdupz? Same story I guess?

xmemdupz calls xmalloc, so, yes, same story.

So back to my original patch, using strdup, check the return value, etc.
