It was fixed by commit 475777c9ec, introducing > VIR_AUTOFREE() for virDomainDeviceDefPtr. VIR_AUTOFREE calls only a VIR_FREE to release the memory associated with 'dev', so if this patch fixes a leak of one of the members of the 'dev' a patch is still required with a different approach. E.g. VIR_AUTOPTR.
