Description

proton-test will fail with memory violations. Deallocated memory is accessed, usually with benign results but less often on Windows.

The attached crude patch allows the bug to be "discovered" on Linux as well.

It is not clear to me if the problem is with the swig wrapper, or whether this just exposes a reference counting bug in proton-c.
