+ * 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.

* prefix.c: (ip_masklen) While loop should test that 'pnt' pointer is
in range before dereferencing it.
