Hi,

I fixed the possible memory leak regarding label_string found by Andrew
V. Samoilov, see bug 131088 in Red Hat bugzilla. To test this patch,
create an user "test" for example, set his password to "testpass",
change your cwd by "cd /#ftp:test:testpass at localhost" and:

- try to upload a file to this directory and note the password is
removed. Copy, error and other dialogs display "/#ftp:test at localhost"

- try to add the new ftp directory to directory hotlist, password will
be also removed

- try to find any dialog where the password is displayed

I tested it and was unable to find any dialog that still shows a
password in it. The patch is cleanly applicable to 20th Oct mc CVS
snapshot.

HTH,
Jindrich
