I was just looking at the parameter module for nefarious purposes of my
own, and I think there may be memory leaks in it.  The zsh convention is
that the setting functions for parameters are passed permanently allocated
memory, so that (e.g.) options[foo]=on passes a newly allocated string "on"
which setpmoption() doesn't free.  This happens consistently throughout the
module -- in fact, some of the set* routines specially ztrdup() the value
they're passed.
