Good catch! This is a potential use after free/double free or, even worst,
on "if (default_config->dev)" default_config could be NULL.

Even though the bug is unrelated to this series (it was already there) I'll
include a fix in v2.
It'll be the first patch of the series and it could be merged independently.
