Can you show the FULL string that is being passed into this function,
and not just the string after the first split on '+'?  That is, showing
an easy formula of how to reproduce the bug makes it easier to know if
the solution is right.

Ouch. Memory leak.  You are overwriting the contents of malloc'd scheme
with a new pointer.  You'll need to send a v2.
