If I'm not mistaken, there are quite a cople of 'memory leaks' in iptables.c.
Sometimes I'm under the impression that the inital developers didn't care 
too much about this.  Rusty? Any comments?

As do_command is onl called once per iptables process, there might have
been the impression that 'cleaning up' is not necessarry.

However, wih large rulesets and iptables-restore, this assumption is no
longer true, ...

I'm always happy to receive patches :)
