Fixes a minor memory leak in function res_mkupdrec() by freeing rrecp on error return.
The error return is triggered by one of two conditions: 1. rrecp is NULL (calloc failed) 2. strdup(dname) returns NULL Previously, the function just returned NULL. This patch adds a call to free rrecp before returning NULL. Since the free() function will properly do nothing when called with a NULL parameter, it is not necessary to separate the two tests into separate if clauses.
