mem leak fixed on ccache none

Description Jose Plans 2006-11-21 12:21:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
This is a leak fixed upstream, on the ccache code. (lib/krb5/ccache/ccbase.c)
A customer has been hitted by it and would like this to be fixed on RHEL 4.x

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
  1.3.4-33

How reproducible:
  Unknown from the original report.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. same as above.
I can just guess seeing how the ccache works.. we should get this leak everytime
we need to generate an object.
  
Actual results:
leakage.

Expected results:
no leaks.

Additional info:
[Patch attached that matches upstream] 1.5.x
[Thread from JRA proposing a patch (different and not the same as upstream)]
