Comment(by nickm):

 Reading bug7029 --- it looks like some of these are from 0.2.3?  I think
 it's worthwhile fixing the 0.2.3 ones in 0.2.3, since we might someday
 want to look for a memory leak or something that affects only 0.2.3,
 right?

 >(Is there a proper way to free the result of an evdns_base_new()?)

 evdns_base_free().

 >What's the right way to free evtimers that might still be remembered
 somewhere inside libevent?

 If we allocated them with event_new(), then event_free() should do just
 fine.  It needs to be called before the event_base_free(), though.  I
 believe Tor has wrappers for this.
