Jacob Nevins 92db92af5a Control of 'addr' is now handed over to {platform_,}new_connection() and
sk_new() on invocation; these functions become responsible for (eventually)
freeing it. The caller must not do anything with 'addr' after it's been passed
in. (Ick.)

Why:
A SOCKS5 crash appears to have been caused by overzealous freeing of
a SockAddr (ssh.c:1.257 [r2492]), which for proxied connections is
squirreled away long-term (and this can't easily be avoided).

It would have been nice to make a copy of the SockAddr, in case the caller has
a use for it, but one of the implementations (uxnet.c) hides a "struct
addrinfo" in there, and we have no defined way to duplicate those. (None of the
current callers _do_ have a further use for the SockAddr.)

As far as I can tell, everything _except_ proxying only needs addr for the
duration of the call, so sk_addr_free()s immediately. If I'm mistaken, it
should at least be easier to find the offending free()...

PuTTY README
============

This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If
you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and
installed PuTTY on your system.

What should I do next?
----------------------

If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP
to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the
Start menu.

If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP,
you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory to be
on your PATH. How you do this depends on your version of Windows. On
Windows NT and 2000, you can set it using Control Panel > System; on
Windows 95 you will need to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT. Consult your Windows
manuals for details.

What do I do if it doesn't work?
--------------------------------

The PuTTY home web site is

Here you will find our list of known bugs and pending feature
requests. If your problem is not listed in there, or in the FAQ, or
in the manuals, read the Feedback page to find out how to report
bugs to us. PLEASE read the Feedback page carefully: it is there to
save you time as well as us. Do not send us one-line bug reports
telling us `it doesn't work'.
