When we call ipmi_close() and process all the events from
OpenIPMI to delete entities preparing to close the IPMI
connection, the client segfaults.

GDB shows an overrun in the free() call.

    After two days chasing this, Corey Minyard found it.
    Sean Dague also noticed it and TariqX thought he checked in the fix and
    the side effect of it showed up in a very strange way!!

    All fine and dandy now :)
