Your using fread_word there. fread_word does -NOT- allocate memory. So
you have nothing to free. The problem with that is the string is saved
for use with fread_string so everything read will have a tilde at the
end. The reason for this is some spells are multipul words, and as the
name of the function implys fread_word only reads till whitespace or
eof/eol, sooo, you might want to consider using fread_string there.
