what is the status of this patch? We'd like to get it into the android common branches to fix possible double free.
Thanks for your interest!
So far this patch (and the 3 others in the series) haven't received any comments. If someone sends a Acked-by or Reviewed-by, I can submit them to RMK's patch system.
Thanks!
