disable free() in string and string_list parsers. yes, it's a hack (and a little memleak), but i can explain :) [note it's just a few kB memleak, but it's the price of stability without full code review/audit - there are hunderds of possible double free()] the old config parser didn't free() strings/stringlists, but didn't even allocate them by default. the new one always free(), and it causes memcorruption/sig11 at cases like this: char* dvd_device="/dev/dvd"; {"dvd-device", &dvd_device, CONF_TYPE_STRING, 0, 0, 0, NULL}, since string constansts (allocated in .TEXT segment) cannot be free()'d
