Bug#598213: libnet-dhcp-perl: memory leak in marshall()

[Dean Hamstead]

Package: libnet-dhcp-perl
Version: 0.66-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

the marshall() function can be used to decode more dhcp packets without
creating a new object for each one.

unforunately it doesnt clear the __PACKAGE__->{options} and
__PACKAGE__->{options_order} variables. so as more packets are decodes, these
variables accumulate more values (via the addOptionRaw() function)

i have created a CPAN bug for this also at
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=61693 which includes a patch
