I've always been building Lynx with '-DLY_FIND_LEAKS'.
And with just a short FTP-session, there are tons of
leaks to the same ftp-server. An easy fix:

        FREE(entry_info->linkname);
        FREE(entry_info->type);
        FREE(entry_info->date);

With that patch, I see no more leaks in HTFTP.c. But several
others; mainly concerning 'fill_rehostent()'. Which is too messy
for me to follow.

PS. It would be nice if the Lynx.leaks file could be saved
  in one place. Instead of littering my disk with these files.
