Hello Clint,

Thanks for the report; I'll take a look and clear this up!

> Hi,
> 
> NC4_put_propattr in nc4info.c appears to have a memory leak.
> 
> NC4_buildpropinfo() is called, and it did a malloc().
> https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/blob/master/libsrc4/nc4info.c#L158
> 
> Only in the case of failure is that memory cleaned up here.
> https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/blob/master/libsrc4/nc4info.c#L173
> 
> Perhaps the code should be changed to remove the check on ncstat,
> and go ahead with the cleanup regardless.

> Thanks,
