gpgme -- How should gpgme_release be used?

[andres at corrada.com]

Hi,
 
Thanks, Jose. I confirmed your hypothesis writing a simple C program that
called gpgme_release right after gpgme_new. It worked so the problem was in
my use of SWIG to create the Python bindings. I was malloc'ing memory for a
GpgmeCtx variable when I should just have let gpgme_new do all the work. It
works now.
 
I would be interested in using your patches if you could send me a copy.
