They were quick to find and eliminate, I wanted to be sure that no
larger ones were waiting so I fixed the small ones that they could not
clutter my screen. "make check" reports no leaks at this time via
Boehm-GC.
I recently fixed a rather embarrassing HUGE leak in leafnode after a bug
report ("all the way up to 256 MB") and thought checking bogofilter and
cleaning up deallocation responsibilities wouldn't hurt.
