Yes.

Any code that

	1) allocates memory that it frees later

and

	2) makes, between the allocation and the free, calls that might
	   throw an exception

should use "CLEANUP_PUSH()" after the allocation but before the calls
that might throw an exception, and should use "CLEANUP_CALL_AND_POP()"
to do the freeing.
