memory leak #1

Fairly large memory leak in this library, not exactly sure where.

I'm decoding terabytes of information, and using this library very quickly uses up RAM. Swapping to an alternate library fixed the issue.

Hi, thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately, I don't think I will get around to this anytime soon. If you have a fix though, please open a pull request. Thanks!

No worries. I'll have a go at it later on this week.

Just FYI, the fix consists in inserting "free(in);" in line 125 in file /src/_yenc.c.
