------------------------------------------------------ From: OGAWA Hirofumi hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp Subject: fat: fix memory allocation failure handling of match_strdup()
In parse_options(), if match_strdup() failed, parse_options() leaves opts->iocharset in unexpected state (i.e. still pointing the freed string). And this can be the cause of double free.
To fix, this initialize opts->iocharset always when freeing.
