[Lognorm] Memory Leak in liblognorm?

Thank you John,

I've added a es_deleteStr(str) and freed just about all I can think of
and I'm seeing the same results.  Just to be on the safe side,  I ran
two versions of Sagan last night.  One using liblognorm and the other
without.  I let these run for about 8 hours.

In the end,  the one without liblognorm used about 2.5 meg of RAM.
The one with liblognorm eventually crept up to 128 meg of RAM (and
still climbing).

Like last time,  I pushed the code up to github
(https://github.com/beave/sagan/blob/master/src/sagan-liblognorm.c).
You where right about the es_deleteStr,  but it's still slowly
leaking.  Essentially, this is what I did:

free(cstr);
free(field);
es_deleteStr(str);
es_deleteStr(propName);		/* Just to be safe? */
ee_deleteEvent(lnevent);


I should add that I'm using the liblognorm (and other require libs)
from Rainer's git repo.

I got my Ubuntu 12.04 box back up with the dev tools and valgrind last
night,  but haven't had a chance to move over Sagan and test yet.   I
hope to be able to do that today.

I feel that I'm not handling something correctly,  so if you spot it
let me know!  I really appreciate it.
