Description 
When obtaining the fully qualified hostname to be used for comparison purposes against a host principal, we call the libresolv2 routine getipnodebyname() which returns a hostent data structure.  We pull the hostname out of this data structure and save that away for later use, but do not call freehostent() routine to free up the returned hostent data structure.

This leaks small bits of memory quite often.
