Recently, Coverity has started complaining about using g_free() to free memory areas allocated by GLib functions not included in model.c, such as g_strfreev. This unfortunately goes against the GLib documentation, which suggests that g_malloc() should be matched with g_free() and plain malloc() with free(); since GLib 2.46 however g_malloc() is hardcoded to always use the system malloc implementation, and g_free is just "free" plus a tracepoint. Therefore, this should not cause any problem in practice.
