Dropping allocated memory on erroring out doesn't necessarily count as a
memory leak, IMHO, if it errors out all the way to the command line.

I.e. I view calling int_error() is a license to leak as much memory as
you like, because trying to avoid memory leaks across a longjmp() is a
futile exercise.
