#3552 closed patch (fixed)

Fix erroneous usage of free() instead of delete

Description

There are two arrays in libs/libmyth/jsmenu.cpp that were allocated with new, but get free'd using free() instead of delete. The results of using free() on a buffer allocated with new are undefined. The attached patch changes the two places in question to use delete, instead.
