nmap-3.77 mem leak and patch

["Ganga Bhavani" <GBhavani () everdreamcorp com>]

Hi,

        I used the following tool to check the memory leak of nmap http://www.codeproject.com/tools/leakfinder.asp in 
windows system. 

   I am attaching the snippets from the memory leak report generated by the above tool. The actual report is huge(2MB) 
and  please let me know if anyone is interested, I can send it. The report was generated when the nmap-3.77 is run to 
scan one node(nmap -O -F -oN out.nmap 192.168.1.20). The attached patch(.memleak.patch) has the code change to fix 
these memory leaks. All the memory leaks that I found occurred when the nmap completed successfully. I could not try 
all the error cases, where nmap exits due to error conditions.

Please let me know if there are any issues.

Thanks,
Ganga
