Memory Leak in bucomm.c

Hi, I found a memory leak bug in the source code of binutils, and I have shown 
the execution sequence below. This bug exists in the file bucomm.c. The red
text illustrates the steps that generate the bug.

As shown in the diagram, The variable filename receives the return value from
the function bfd_get_archive_filename, which allocates a block of memory for
it. However, this allocated memory is not freed, resulting in a memory leak.

Although reported bug trace is for version 2.32 but i've check this bug still
existing in latest version.

Can you help to check if this bug is true? Thanks for your effort.
