Petteri,

Yes, that is correct.  You should not need to do anything to deallocate
the geometry after using SetGeometryDirectly().

How do you deallocate geo_trans though?  You can't use delete on the
geo_trans pointer after passing it to ImportFromWkt() since the pointer
is changed by that function.  I suspect this is your problem.

Best regards,
