Summary	0000588: Use of free() on buffer allocated by open_[w]memstream()
Description	The APPLICATION USAGE section on the open_memstream() page says: The buffer created by these functions should be freed by the application after closing the stream, by means of a call to free(). However, there is nothing in normative text which requires implementations to allow this buffer to be passed to free().
Desired Action	Add a new paragraph to the end of the DESCRIPTION: After a successful fclose(), the pointer referenced by bufp can be passed to free().
