It will run if you're lucky, there are multiple duplicate free()s that
happen.

I made a big patch that cleaned up the freeing added a safer free, and
beautified the source.  I fixed all the segfaults I found.  This is
against 0.4.  The patch is huge because I converted all the mixed white
space into a single 4sp tab form.  It used to be pretty awful :P

The patch is on
