Thank you for the advice. You're right: if exit is called, memory leakage
is not really a problem since the operating system should handle the
deallocation.
However, it looks like it is not the case of proxy_init in virtio-9p-proxy.c,
since the function just returns -1.
But I'm not sure it's worth taking time for it...
Cheers,
Hugo
