Yes, I already saw this and am currently working on it, so I can send the
patch to you when I'm done.

The memory leak is in "xmlSecOpenSSLAppKeyCertLoad" of src/openssl/app.c
When the call to "xmlSecOpenSSLKeyDataX509AdoptCert" failes, an error gets
returned, but the "cert" variable doesn't get freed.
