Description
The library uses a system of functions for platforms that don't support exceptions. The _rw_throw function calls __rw_vfmtwhat() to get a string describing the exception that has occured. Under some conditions the string is allocated from the heap as an array of characters. Eventually __rw_throw invokes a function via pointer (_rw_throw_proc) that is supposed to process the exception (possibly by throwing a real exception object). Unfortunately the test does not deallocate the string that was allocated by __rw_vfmtwhat().
