Also, why strdup the result of CLASSNAME()? It's CIMOM-managed memory, and most of the other libcu functions have been modified to avoid dynamic memory where possible. The return value should be const char * after this change.

Also, why not just signal your single error case by returning NULL? That way you can avoid having to pass in the broker and the status pointers and the function becomes a bit cleaner.
