I just had time for a quick look, so I can only give you the advice to run the
test suite with valgrind before you push it.

I did indeed run it through valgrind once. However, none of these
fixes actually had a test case that caught a leak through valgrind.
Maybe I should couple them all with valid test cases


Also, Wget does not free memory on exit by purpose. Not sure if Coverity
respects this.

I mark them as intentional / not a bug on coverity. The above fixes
are all in cases where the only pointer to an allocated memory goes
out of scope. In this scenario, the OS will not be able to reclaim the
memory back.
