Just to be sure...

   free(p);
   return;
   delete p;
   p = NULL;

When the student who wrote this was asked, he explained the reasoning:

"First, there was only the free and p=NULL. But then I thought maybe I insert the delete, just to be sure the memory gets deleted, But it didn't worked, so I tried a bit and the return helped make it working again."

Ciao, Imi.
PS: A friend's story.. but still funny enough :)

The almighty return keyword works its magic powers once again! Amazing how it can make the most complicated of programs finish without any problems... Almost like the supernatural exit() function.
