Yes, it's "how do I cancel requests in case of failure", general case
is already handled by dns-example.c

Maybe, my example should be rather replaced by better comment to
evdns_cancel_request and evdns_base_free, or another implementation of
these functions.

It's not obvious, that event loop should be started once again to
really free allocated data and it's important from my point of view.

Anyway, final decision is up to you, the information about this trick
already exists in ML archive and that's enough for me :)

Thanks, I missed it.
