We can't really say that the kconfig frontends are critical, long-running processes. If they leak a bit of memory, that's not too cumbersome, I think. OTOH, I think breaking the frontends so close to the end of the -rc cycle is a bit dangerous (heck, I would not like to be part of the cause of a new flaming, just for this! ;-) ) So, unless Michal really wants to pull this one and push it to Linus before he cuts v3.9 final, I'll merge this later in my -for-next branch.
