In looking at other code that uses hesiod it seems that people
are freeing the buffer returned by hes_resolve(). Now, in the
source on athena-dist the buffer is static and should not be free(3)'d.
Are there other hesiod implementations that do use a dynamically
allocated buffer? If so, is there any real way of telling which
implementation you are dealing with?
