asprintf() mallocs storage for you.  Probably the quickest way to work
around this would be to change the functions that use asprintf() (both
are the same) to something like:

	int
	find_fn(const char *pkg, char *data)
	{
		lpkg_t *lpp;
		char fn[1024]

		snprintf(fn, sizeof(fn), "%s/%s", _pkgdb_getPKGDB_DIR(), pkg);
		if (!isfile(fn)) {	/* might as well use sanity_check() */
			lpp = alloc_lpkg(pkg);
			TAILQ_INSERT_TAIL(&pkgs, lpp, lp_link);
		}
		return 0;
	}

The 1024 should be PATH_MAX, but I'm not sure if the right files are
included for this to be available (you'd need <limits.h>).  Note that
the above hasn't been tried, so it might not even compile...
