t should probably be initialized to NULL to not pass an undefined pointer to |

Nice find, I'll fix that too. |
While it seems that the actual implementation of poptReadFile() shouldn't allocate the passed buffer (b) if the number of bytes (nb) is zero (see the read(2) call in that function), it's still up to the caller to take care of this resource, so let's just do that by bailing out via "exit" where the freeing happens. Also initialize t to NULL to avoid freeing an undefined pointer. Found by Coverity.
