[Bug libc/2077] New: memory leak in libio/iofdopen.c


In function _IO_new_fdopen() in libio/iofdopen.c memory is allocated and  
assigned to variable new_f. This variable is not used for freeing the memory in  
the following.  
  
142  new_f = (struct locked_FILE *) malloc (sizeof (struct locked_FILE));  
  
Only a pointer to a part of the allocated is returned:  
  
179  return &new_f->fp.file;  
  
So I assume that this is a memory leak.
