Euphoria Ticket #799: gets() memory leak

When gets() is called, we allocate a sequence to hold the data. However, if we are at EOF, we never release the sequence, resulting in a memory leak equivalent to a 133 element sequence: 

 
	line = (s1_ptr)EMalloc(bufsize * sizeof(object) + sizeof( struct s1 )); 
... 
	if (oldc == EOF) { 
		// No input characters where actually read. 
		return (object)ATOM_M1; 
	}
