HI,

I was learning how to go about writting sniffer using libpcap. For the
reason i was going through code of tcpdump version 3.8.3 code (which indeed
helped me alot),  and i think there is some memory
leak in tcpdump when used with filters. As tcpdump uses
'pcap_compile()' , which eventually does a malloc. but tcpdump never
uses  'pcap_freecode()' which is supposed to free the memory allocated
in 'pcap_compile()' .

If tcpdump code  has taken care of the malloc in 'pcap_compile()'  by some
other method, can someone help me out in this case.
