Right.  But thanks for coming back quickly with this question:

The domain configuration specified to libxl might contain some rdms.
Then num_rdms in the incoming config would be nonzero.

So I think there are two problems here:

1. If that were the case you would leak the application's rdms array.

2. Anyway, if the caller specifies such an array you should use it.
   (Fixing this would avoid (1) in any case.)

Ian.
