Ouch. Sorry Hub, obviously that wasn't my intention. But wouldn't it make
more sense to let the arg class handle both the resource aquisituion and
release instead of repeating the same code in every platform implementation,
opening up for mistakes and misunderstandings like this?

I completely agree. I warned platform maintainer, but I consider that free a resource in platform code while acquiring it is XP code is a bug.

Can someone who understand the code have a look at that and fix it ?
