We're not talking about pptp_bind.

We're talking about llcp_{,raw}_sock_bind().

If your hex dump doesn't show it, don't report anything unless you are
absolutely sure via code inspection that there could be a leak.  And
in that case make it perfectly clear exactly how that can happen.

I am generally unimpressed with your reports half of the time,
and just a small amount of extra effort would extraordinarily
improve the quality of the things your post.

Thanks.

You can't show that anything is actually being leaked in this specific
case, period.
