Just to be sure that I understand all the stuff I about lint and
IF_LINT correctly:
To prevent 'valgrind' from complaining we use IF_LINT macro during dev
builds, so the code inside IF_LINT actually works.  But at the same
time we realize that it's redundant to free() that kind of buffer, so
end users use the binary which was compiled without the corresponding
macro, hence there's no generated code for free(utmp_buf) in that
binary. Is that correct?
