Looks like this was an error on my part; I mistakenly assumed that all
arrays were allocated, not just the [ref] ones.

I've fixed the other issues you mentioned (listed below).

- In RPC-ECHO, test_doublepointer fails against a Samba4 server

- In RPC-SAMR, with the [validate] binding parameter, the client-side
  validation fails when against Win2k3 (or probably any server).

- Elsewhere, in the DCE/RPC client libs, if the connection is dropped (or
  a wrong password is specified to the RPC bind), there appears to be some
  issues with a double-free down in the socket layer.  (Shows up under
  valgrind in particular).

- In regard to more recent changes, the credentials change is still
  showing up some issues across Samba4, but in particular, it is known
  that locktest and gentest need work to use the API correctly (use
  cli_credentails_init(), to ensure the top-level creds structure is
  talloc()ed).
