xar_extract_tobuffer does not free the returned buffer when an error occured. #43

That's not really an error.
It just would be smarter if xar_extract_tobuffersz() did something like this:

int err = xar_arcmod_extract(x,f,NULL,*buffer,*size);
if (err != 0) {
  *size = 0;
  free(buffer);
  *buffer = NULL;
}
return err;

It would remove the need to to it in each caller.

Excellent suggestion, this has been resolved with commit 189.
