And in fact, there is actually already a bug filed for this:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27866
Ravina's patch is coming out of an in-person workshop I ran a few days
ago in Brno to try and get first-time contributors into glibc.

Ravina, while you do a v2, would you also please make a minor change
to the commit subject?: 1. Drop the "glibc/" from the commit subject
line, and 2. Add the bug reference. So:
"manual: Add missing free to open_memstream example [BZ #27866]"
Thanks!
