The 10th report is another false positive:
Logic error 	Memory leak 	auth-options.i 	10587 	28 	View Report
<http://lcs.ios.ac.cn/%7Exuzb/bugsfound/memleak/openssh-5.9p1/realbugs/sshd/report-mVEeJj.html#EndPath>

Melton complains that in line 10587 the memory of data wasn't released,
but there's a call to buffer_free(&data);
in line 10585.
