  There is a problem with that :-)

  As the GConn API reference says under 'struct GConnEvent': "GConn Event. 
buffer and length are set only on GNET_CONN_READ events. The buffer is 
caller-owned." 

  "caller-owned" = owned by GNet, do not free under any circumstances. GNet 
will take care of that.

  Don't worry about freeing the buffers at all. Just copy the data to your own 
buffer if you can't process it right away.
