/usr/lib/gnome-initial-setup/gnome-initial-setup:double free or corruption (!prev)

Robert, could you have a look?

(Ccing Didier since the e.u.c stacktrace is on the "report" page)

I think the issue is on the C side.

I took care to not free anything returned by sysmetrics when I'm allocating C memory so that the callers does it. Looks like a double free in the disposal of the report page?

(for ref: https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-report/blob/master/pkg/sysmetrics/C/libsysmetrics.go#L40)

Confirmed it's a double free in gnome-initial-setup - we are freeing a string in dispose (), which can be called multiple times. Switch to freeing in finalize () which is only called once.
