Looks good to commit - my hal-0.4 box is at work so if you can commit
the patch it would be great. Btw, I fixed a very grave memory leak on
HEAD, see here

 http://cvs.freedesktop.org/hal/hal/hald/device_info.c?rev=1.26&view=log

you might want to check if the fix apples to hal-0_4-stable-branch (I've
been meaning to do it...)

Cheers,
David
