Possible Memory leak in bed hash.c

Hi Jacob,

This is just a quick note to say that we do care.

We care about writing good code.  We care about writing portable code.
We care about writing code that others will see, read and use, and we
hope, appreciate.

So please, do keep on filing bug reports and letting us know about problems,
but do not think that we do not care.  We do.

Cheers
   Nick

PS.  Mind you the thing I do not care about are when I get a CVE report
for one of these memory leak bugs saying that the leak is a potential
source of a denial of service attack.  I mean seriously, if one of the
binutils tools does not free all of its memory before exiting, can that
really be used as a DoS ?
