Thanks for pointing this out. I have changed it to use the heap
instead.
There are actually 3 other locations where the same thing happens, and the
allocated blocks are stored in a linked list which you need to walk and
free (I believe) if you switch over to using xmalloc instead. The attached
patch should do the right thing.
