BitchX scripting function $regfree()

regfree
Function
$regfree()
Usage
$regfree(compiledstring)
Returns
Use this when you have finished with a regular expression. If you don't do this, your BitchX process will grow (possibly by a few kilobytes) each time you compile a pattern, and will never shrink, so you can run out of memory and crash.
