If we have a default value for the char* DCmdArgument we copy it into the `_value` field using `parse_value` to make a copy in C-heap. If we then parse an actual argument value, we replace the default but don't free it. The parse method needs to use realloc.
Thanks to @jcking for spotting the cause.
Testing: tiers 1-3
Thanks.
