commit 7b1a3c51644891c4548ccdfd4e8d444cd91b91b0
Author: Roger Dingledine <arma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    fix memory leak in protover.c
    
    Fix a memory leak where directory authorities would leak a chunk of
    memory for every router descriptor every time they considered voting.
    
    This bug was taking down directory authorities in the live network due
    to out-of-memory issues.
    
    Fixes bug 26435; bugfix on 0.3.3.6.
