Sort of. The problem was that the original code assumed 'script'
was non-NULL. With the way we call it now, it is not guarenteed
to be non-NULL.  Actually it was never really guarenteed non-NULL
ever.

I'm not sure what you mean here ?

What is happening is that qemudBuildCommandLine() gives us
back 2 arrays of strings,   char **retargv, and char **retenv.
Normally these are passed straight to execve() as is. In this
case though, we just concatentation all the strings in the 2
arrays together into one big string, and return this to the
caller. So these few lines are just free'ing the 2 arrays we
no longer need.

You'd pass these kind of values into the 'char *nativeFormat' parameter
but I wasn't really considering them part of the stable ABI/API. The
config formats each driver supports are specific to particular backends
and particular HV versions. So I decided it was better not to expose
them directly.  Perhaps we could add them to the capabilities XML
format though, as dynamically exported data, so they're not ABI.
