Mmmh this seems to be more complex that I thought.

If I understand correctly NetScape plugins, a plugin can allocate its own String variant through NPN_InitializeVariantWithString call. In this case, the caller allocate the String, and this String will be released through NPReleaseVariantValue.

I'm clearly not an expert in NetScape plugins but I'm pretty sure that I'll introduce side effects crashes if I switch this to fastMalloc/fastFree.
