Michael, this papers over the bug, but doesn't actually fix the problem.

The problem is that vp_free_vectors() does not do the reverse of 
vp_request_vectors.  If the author (you) can't get it right, what hope the 
rest of us?

Indeed, if you look harder, you'll see another leak caused by this problem, 
which your patch *didn't* fix.

Thanks,
Rusty.
