In some of them.  But not the once where we terminated a function in
the case we found an error != ENOMEM.  This happened in the function I
changed together with the missing frees in the __nis_destroy_callback.
This must have leaked quite a lot.

Well, I understand enough to see that the functions are leaking a lot
of memory during normal operation.

Something which is allocated using calloc() can be freed using free.
