Sorry Jelmer,

this wasn't clear (to prevent the use of "TALLOC_FREE"). But a real 
issue is the fact that we have already approximately 150-200 occourences 
of it under "source4" (checked with "cscope"). And we merge more and 
more with the s3 codebase so we get more and more occourences. Therefore 
I would simply propose to allow it for s4 as well.

Greets,
Matthias
