General note on this that I missed in my first E-Mail, you have ~20
calls to argv_array_init() but none to argv_array_clear(). So you're
leaking memory, and it obscures potential other issues with valgrind.

A lot of that's easy to solve, but sometimes requires a temporary
variable since the code is now returning directly, e.g:

+       return ret;
 }

But more generally this goes a long way to resolving the issue where
you have variables like out1, out2 or cp1, cp2 etc. which Christian
pointed out. I.e. you're not freeing/clearing strbufs either, instead
just creating new ones that also aren't freed, or not clearing
child_process structs, e.g. this on top allows you to re-use the same
variable and stops leaking memory:
