----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 In parse_socks5_resolve_ptr_response() (dead_pool.c +325), the
 **result_hostname is allocated then passed to recv(). On error (r < 0) or
 with an orderly shutdown (r = 0) the memory is not freed causing the
 memory leak.

 Here is a small patch fixing the leak.
