That should read xcb_free(), not free().
Oh. I see we don't have an xcb_free() function. That can be considered a
bug. Some systems (*cough* Windows *cough*) frequently run into problems
when a shared library is linked to a different libc (and therefore a
different malloc/realloc/free) than the executable.
Xlib has XFree(). XCB needs its own free() for all the same reasons.
If you like, I can create a patch to add this function.
