This patch is stolen from SVN and fix a memory problem with malformed MIB.

    A patch suggested by Cedric Arbogast <arbogast.cedric@gmail.com>
    and Vincent Bernat <bernat@luffy.cx> that avoids freeing memory
    of pending nodes that in certain situations are still being used.

This also means that we get a memory leak. But better a memory leak
than a segfault. Right?
