Comment (by rl1987):

 This is a false positive, as `protover_summary_map` is actually freed and
 assigned to NULL in `protover_summary_cache_free_all()`. I suspect macros
 in map.h make Coverity hard to analyze what's going on here.

 My attempt at fixing this: https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/544
