Comment(by datallah):

 I don't think the (first) patch is actually correct; the list items are
 not actually copied anywhere, so in the cases where the value you're
 adding is a pointer to a static buffer as it would be from any of the
 _(...) gettext functions, the value will end up changing on you. I'm not
 sure what the status of the SILC ciphers and hmacs arrays is in terms of
 expectation of a availability.

 Technically these aren't actually leaks as such unless libpurple is
 expected to clean up everything during uninit() - they are just long-
 living data that isn't ever freed (there is always a reference to it).
