The buffer here is created by `malloc`, and from a cursory reading of `processIPDStrResult`, can be passed to other methods that call `realloc` on it. It should be paired with `free`, not `delete`. You could put that in a `unique_ptr<char, FreeDeleter>`, but when you go down that road, I think it's probably simpler to leave as-is. (You'd also have to take care to always manually `.release()` it when updating it to the realloc'd value, because you don't want to delete the pre-realloc'd buffer).

(Note: this line is pulled from the original `~RichManglingContext()` definition in the header. I didn't write it so I can't defend it that well :) )
