I think the right fix is just to remove the const qualifier. It's clearly not
treating the pointer as const if it's passing it to pfree which is surely a
state change if anything is.

We do far too much casting to (void*) as it is and I would dearly love to go
through the whole source tree and remove all the redundant casts. All they do
is cover up real type clash bugs.
