* prefix.c: (prefix_ipv4_new, prefix_ipv6_new): Call prefix_new to allocate the memory to make sure that all struct prefix pointers point to objects of the same length (avoids memory overruns on struct prefix assignments). (prefix_ipv4_free, prefix_ipv6_free): Simply call prefix_free. It is interesting to note that these functions are never actually called anywhere in the code. Instead prefix_free was already being called directly, despite the previous MTYPE incompatibility. [backport candidate]
