What were you trying to do?
	make my code not leak memory

What's wrong:
	hesiod(3) does not mention that hes_resolve calloc's memory

value is static char *retvec[100], hes_resolve can free its memory
between successive calls.  I would recommend the former, since it is
less likely to break existing code.

What should have happened:
