A small memory leak was found in get_stack_bounds when getline returned with an error code,
but it was fixed in OpenJDK 7 & 8 in a way that introduced worse issues:

This webrev adds a simpler fix, just adding the necessary free call:

I filed a bug for this here: http://java.net/jira/browse/OPENJDK6-3

Ok for OpenJDK 6?
