[postgis-devel] fix for memory leaks in shp2pgsql.c

[Dave Fuhry]

Paul,

   1.4.0.

   I originally hit the problem on 1.3.x, then patched 1.4.0, which
I'm /pretty/ sure was exhibiting the problem.

   It was easy to see in `top` that shp2pgsql was gorging on memory as
execution continued, and the leak locations were revealed fairly
clearly in `valgrind --leak-check=full`.  This work is all against
polygons; my impression is that loading of points or linestrings is
unaffected.

-Dave
