[Icecast] *Bump* ices2 memory leak on Debian/ARM

[The Darkener]

Hi all,

I was really hoping to get a bit of help from this. I've since gone to
ezstream to try and accomplish the same goal, but ices2 is so simple to
use I would really like to stay with that instead.

Can anyone help me debug this memory leak? I can't use valgrind to try
and debug because it throws an "Illegal Instruction" whenever I try to
run it. :(


Happy New Year!
