Hey wait a minute. Where did you get the my_free(), may be you are
trying to say mysql_free(), but then that is used only if result set is
used/called.

But the code does not show any result set call. ie. mysql_use_result()
or mysql_store_result().

So, the question now, how come there is a leak here. I dont see any,
does anyone see any?
