Potential Memory leak in function 'sfthd_create_threshold_local' in file 'sfthd.c'

[Bill Parker <wp02855 () gmail com>]

Hello All,

    In doing some review of memory allocation calls (2.9.8.0 Beta/RC),
it would appear that in function 'sfthd_create_threshold_local', a call
to calloc() is made at line 428:

sfthd_node = (THD_NODE*)calloc(1,sizeof(THD_NODE));

but it would appear that even after the node is added with
'sflist_add_head',
or 'sflist_add_before', or 'sflist_add_tail', it would appear that the
memory allocated at line 428 is never released via free() before a return 0
is encountered in this function, or does this not matter given how the
function builds the nodes in question?

Bill
