Description:
------------
In virtual_file_ex (TSRM/tsrm_virtual_cwd.c, line 292) the Win32 API
function GetLongPathName() is used to expand the value passed in the
path parameter.  This code mallocs a new string (called new_path), but
then sets the const path function parameter to the new malloc and
discards the new_path variable.  There is nothing later in the function
to ensure that this new malloc is freed.  Attached is my take on a fix
for this by leaving the new_path variable available so that it can be
freed at the end of the function.  There may be a cleaner way to do
this, but this patch is one approach.
