Looking at the commit, I found that pool_sent_message_destory()
isn't called in pool_remove_sent_message() which is commented
out with XXX. Is it needed? I think this causes memory leak.

@@ -304,7 +317,8 @@ bool pool_remove_sent_message(char kind, const char *name)
                if (msglist->sent_messages[i]->kind == kind &&
