The aloop runtime object and its assignment in the cable are left even when opening a substream fails. This doesn't mean any memory leak, but it still keeps the invalid pointer that may be referred by the another side of the cable spontaneously, which is a potential Oops cause.
Clean up the cable assignment and the empty cable upon the error path properly.
