[screen-devel] Memory Leak in FreeAltScreen

[Daniel De Graaf]

In FreeAltScreen, the w_alt_mlines and w_alt_hlines entries are not
freed before setting them to zero. This causes a memory leak every
time a screen is switched, which can be demonstrated by the shell
script "for a in `seq 1 1000`; do echo test|less -E;done".
