Hi to all,
as I discovered just today in the libc info pages:
" There is no point in freeing blocks at the end of a program, because
all of the program's space is given back to the system when the process
terminates."
so if this is true ( I believed memory should always be freed)
we can save more space in miscutils/strings.c.

Please apply, if the linux gurus agree with that.
Ciao,
