Bug: Memory Leaks while reading GovernedBy and Starsystem of planets.
Danger: High - Memory Leaks are BAD.
Found by: Caius
Fixed by: Kayle and Caius

clans.c, fread_planet

Find:
         case 'G':
            if( !str_cmp( word, "GovernedBy" ) )
            {
               planet->governed_by = get_clan( fread_string( fp ) );
               fMatch = TRUE;
            }
            break;


Replace with:
         case 'G':
            if( !str_cmp( word, "GovernedBy" ) )
            {
               const char *clan_name = fread_string( fp );
               planet->governed_by = get_clan( clan_name );
               fMatch = TRUE;
               STRFREE( clan_name );
            }
            break;



Find:
            if( !str_cmp( word, "Starsystem" ) )
            {
               planet->starsystem = starsystem_from_name( fread_string( fp ) );
               if( planet->starsystem )
               {
                  SPACE_DATA *starsystem = planet->starsystem;

                  LINK( planet, starsystem->first_planet, starsystem->last_planet, next_in_system, prev_in_system );
               }
               fMatch = TRUE;
            }


Replace with:
            if( !str_cmp( word, "Starsystem" ) )
            {
               const char *starsystem_name = fread_string( fp );
               planet->starsystem = starsystem_from_name( starsystem_name );
               if( planet->starsystem )
               {
                  SPACE_DATA *starsystem = planet->starsystem;

                  LINK( planet, starsystem->first_planet, starsystem->last_planet, next_in_system, prev_in_system );
               }
               fMatch = TRUE;
               STRFREE( starsystem_name );
            }


I think I said this already, but.. Memory Leaks are BAD. Bad for business. Bad for.. just Bad. See, fread_string calls STRALLOC. Which allocates memory. But said memory was never being freed. Thus.. memory leak. So you do what I did and poof. No more leak.
