[PATCH] Memory leak in Pound-1.10

Hi

We have discovered a memory leak in the parsing of the Autorization header 
in Pound 1.10. Only the first element in a BIO chain was freed.
The patch have made this memleak dissappear.

However, testing indicates that Pound-1.10 leaks approx 390 bytes per 
request when backend servers are down. The number may only be valid for my 
test setup, where I used ab to send 100000 requests to a pound instance 
running with one UrlGroup sending requests to a port not listened to on 
localhost. I will see if I can track it down before the weekend.

Regards
Rune
