I've applied it now. The reason I haven't done it before is that I
thought we should change asprintf to clean the result pointer in case of
a failure. The can have a negative side effect (maybe some programs
depends on current behavior) so I wanted to check. Well, I still
haven't checked whether it's really a problem but to err on the safe
side is better.
