well, my #if 0 was just a way to "comment out" those free() calls...

I didn't check Dragonfly but simply suspected freeing too early. It
was a mistake to leave that in for the PR, it was just a local test.

It seems there was a "cleanup" in rcorder.c lately, and maybe those
introduced the bugs. But commenting (or #ifdef-ing out) those
free()'s is probably better than having rcorder dump core.

I just reworked my solution not to use rcorder but tsort... I know
that doesn't help here, sorry.
