It seems right, but in some cases (dgCycleError, dgOrderError), the
buffer is created with bufNew, not bufCapture. Your explanation of
"memory leak is okay on error paths" is not really what I'm looking for.
As I explained on my website, the Aldor GC performs best if memory is
manually returned to the allocator. Am I missing anything here? Is
bufLiberate really the right thing even in these functions?
