Where are you seeing this?  In mono/io-layer/io.c:CreateFile, I see
calls of ``g_free (filename);'' in several places -- when fd==-1, when
fd>=_wapi_fd_reserve, when fstat(2) fails, when the file sharing fails,
when the WAPI handle can't be allocated...

The only time `filename' isn't freed is when CreateFile() succeeds, and
that's because it's stored into the file_handle.filename field, which in
turn is copied into the `handle' pointer returned to the caller.

So I'm not seeing the memory leak you're referring to...
