Segfault after reconnect (using structured data)

[ralphlange]

Description In a setup working against a Siemens S7-1500, using user-defined structures, we have seen rare crashes that seem to be caused by a memory management issue (double free) within the UA SDK client.

To Reproduce We have not been able to reliably reproduce the behavior.

This might be connected to the missing type dictionary?! Not sure.

Screenshots Here's a trace of one of these occasions:
