openssh unix dev - Apr 2002 - xxx_kex possible memory leak?

Howdy,

I'm working on porting the portable version of OpenSSH to the Nucleus RTOS.
So far I've had a great deal of success. However, I've run into a
possible
memory leak, and I'm not sure whether I need to write my own cleanup
function for it or not. The xxx_kex global (defined in sshd.c) seems to not
get freed. I've had difficulty finding a cleanup routine for it. I've
been
looking for anything similar to key_free() or buffer_free() that might work
for the Kex struct, but have had no luck. Does anyone know if such a cleanup
function exists? Or is this a known memory leak? Or am I just smoking crack?

Any pointers are greatly appreciated!

Regards,

no, it does not get freed, it should get free()ed on exit(2).
