There were a number of leaks fixed (of the type wherein the data buffer
associated with a created REAL_DATA wasn't freed).

In addition, I fixed a number of cases wherein a REAL_DATA buffer was
created but not added as a data source. The effect is that selecting the
field in the details pane highlights some bytes in whatever byte pane is
currently active (since the byte pane for the buffer containing the
field doesn't exist).


Gerald:

I can (and will) update the 1.6 trunk (and release notes&  etc) if
there's time and you think it's appropriate.

Done

I've updated the 1.6 trunk and the 1.6 release notes
(SVN #40414 & #40415).
