You are right it already does that. Did not realize it even though I 
worked some on that code. I figured it was doing pointer copying.

The main problem is that if you execute "p = strdup(string)" twice, the 
old value of p will be leaked anyway, unless you add even more code to 
free the old version. I guess this should be fixed in parse_options and 
the the config file parser, though it is an example of how plugging 
these leaks is a nearly endless task.
