Comment (by jyavenard):

 you pass the data by value, not via a pointer.

 You allocate via new, there's no associated delete of that pointer. It
 *will* leak.

 As the data is passed by value, there's no reason to allocate a new one on
 the heap.

 I'm not referring to why it was crashing before. Just looking at the code
 as it is now.

 If you don't see why it would be leaking, well, I can't explain it any
 better
