Two similar problems in the same file. Let me know if you want separate bug reports about these:

----------------

ext/date/lib/parse_tz.c:124]: Memory leak: buffer

if (!tz->type) {
  return;
}

ext/date/lib/parse_tz.c:152: Memory leak: leap_buffer

if (!tz->leap_times) {
  return;
}

Truly, I think that Derick really free that vars. in another place.

Is this still an issue? Or can that be closed after 8 years and targeting an unsupported version?
