Several coding style problems and you are adding two new
leaks.

Always order local variable declarations from longest to
shortest line.

Always put a space between ")" and the "{" openning a new basic
block.

Now you have two references, one held by 'ap' and one held by 'tmp'.

You are not releasing the one held by 'tmp', and you must release
'tmp' even if it equals 'dp'.

It's pretty obvious you have no way by which to test these changes and
therefore are not doing so.
