Re: [Bug-wget] [bug-wget][PATCH] Fix memory leaks

[Darshit Shah]

Just to mention, I just ran Coverity on the current HEAD of
origin/master. And the results are available.

I'm not sure how coverity works, but it seems to provide new errors
every time even on code that hasn't been touched between two scans.
Anyways, it provides us with a HUGE bunch of areas where code cleanup
would be appreciated.
