This leak was reported by valgrind (testing vlog - vlog/close - C):

53 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 60 of 66      
    by 0x4D1214: xmalloc (util.c:120)                                  
    by 0x4D1284: xmemdup0 (util.c:150)

Thanks for the patch.

This changes user-visible behavior because clearing the log file name
means that the log file can't be reopened later, e.g. this test fails:

    1197. ofproto-dpif.at:8255: testing ofproto-dpif - ofproto-dpif-monitor 1 ...
    ...
    ../../tests/ofproto-dpif.at:8266: sed -e '/^.*ofproto_dpif_monitor.*$/d' < ovs-vswitchd.log > tmp && ovs-appctl vlog/close && mv tmp ovs-vswitchd.log && ovs-appctl vlog/reopen

Perhaps there is a way to fix it without changing behavior?

Thanks,

Ben.
