Valgrind reports a memory leak function in AdvertiseAndReply
(ssdp/ssdp_server.c) in libupnp 1.6.6
There are continue statements in many places in AdvertiseAndReply. In some
of those error handling cases the variable nodelist is not free'ed before
continuing to the next iteration. The next iteration will take care of
free'ing the nodelist from the previous iteration in most cases, but not
when breaking out of the for loop after the last element.
I belive this memory leak can be solved by makeing sure that the rows
ixmlNodeList_free( nodeList );
nodeList = NULL;
are always executed, also in the beginning of the last iteration when we
found out that there are not more elements.
