And below is my hack to test-qmp-output-visitor, which shows (at least
under valgrind) that we don't want the patch. I should probably turn
that into a formal patch submission; but should I piggyback the existing
test or add a new one?  With the patch omitted, valgrind is happy; with
the patch applied, I see:
