__setitem__ on the lazymanifest C type wasn't checking to see if a
line had previously been malloced before replacing it, leading to
leaks if files got updated multiple times in the course of a task.

I was able to reproduce the leak with this change to test-manifest.py:

diff --git a/tests/test-manifest.py b/tests/test-manifest.py
--- a/tests/test-manifest.py
+++ b/tests/test-manifest.py
@@ -456,6 +456,16 @@ class basemanifesttests(object):
                 ['a/b/c/bar.txt', 'a/b/c/foo.txt', 'a/b/d/ten.txt'],
                 m2.keys())

+    def testManifestSetItem(self):
+        m = self.parsemanifest('')
+        for x in range(3):
+            m['file%d' % x] = BIN_HASH_1
+        for x in range(3):
+            m['file%d' % x] = BIN_HASH_2
+        import time
+        time.sleep(4)
+
+

along with the commands:

 $ make local
 $ PYTHONPATH=. SILENT_BE_NOISY=1 python tests/test-manifest.py testmanifestdict.testManifestSetItem &
 $ sleep 4
 $ leaks $(jobs -p | tee /dev/stderr | awk '{print $3}')
 $ wait

in an interactive shell on OS X. As far as I can tell, it had to be an
interactive shell so that I could get the pid of the test run using
the jobs builtin. Prior to this change, I was leaking several strings,
and after this change leaks reports no leaks.

I thought there was a bug filed for this in bugzilla, but I can't find
it either in bugzilla or by searching my email.
