#8 biew contains a lot of memory leaks...

[Nicolas Noble]

After discovering that some files of mine where just
crashing biew under my debians stable and unstable, I
tried to check a bit what was going on. Valgrind just
tells horrible matters:

etc... there is really a LOAD of them. Maybe some care
has to be taken inside biew's coding. It's a wonderful
software, really. I use it in a daily basis, but it
seems it really has a lot of memory leaks.

Really, biew works on x86 compatible systems.
It was designed for such system only.
I don't have access to other systems and can't fix these
bugs! :(
Right SUBJECT should be:
BIEW PERFORMS MISALIGNED MEMORY ACCESS!!!
So if you're able to help me with fixing these bugs - I'm ready
to apply any your patches!
