Memory leak -- StreamPolicyInitTcp

[Jon Larson <jon () catbird com>]

For each policy, ConfigurePreprocessors calls StreamPolicyInitTcp calls 
StreamTcpPolicyInit.  The structure allocated in ConfigurePreprocessors 
is added onto the config->policy_list and freed when snort exits.  
However, if a config reload occurs (as when snort receives a SIGHUP 
signal), a new StreamTcpPolicy is allocated (for each policy), but the 
previous one isn't freed.  The StreamTcpPolicy structure is approx 2MB 
so memory gets eaten up quickly with numerous config reloads.

The Is this a known issue?
