Subject: [PATCH] maint: fix an inconsequential mem leak in join
* src/join.c (join): Refactor the code that checks for misorder
at the tail of the files. The most significant change here is
that freeline() is called thus silencing a valgrind warning about
a definite but inconseqential memory leak.
(freeline): Make more general by doing nothing when passed NULL,
and setting freed pointers to NULL.
Thanks. That had been an annoyance when looking at leak summaries.
