Ralph,

This is seen when compiling Open MPI. I suspect that gcc's analysis is seeing a free() call on a value it can prove did not come from malloc() (or equivalent). However, if as you say the value is always NULL, then this would be a false alarm.

Hi Paul

Much appreciate all your testing!

Quick question here: is this on compile, or were you trying to run something?

We haven't seen this before, but I'm wondering if it is due to us failing to 
initialize an object's fields. If so, then it might be we don't see it because 
those fields usually default to zero (looks like NULL), but you might see it if 
they don't on your system.
