Dan,

Good eye!  It _does_ look like you've found a problem.  Since bogofilter 
currently runs as needed, any memory allocation mistakes are cleaned up by 
the OS when it exits.  So, this flaw is not _presently_ a big 
problem.  However, it shouldn't be present.  Now, I have to figure out the 
best fix ...

Thanks for reporting it.
