Subject: [PATCH] Prevent potential double-free in TNEFSubjectHandler

If TNEFSubjectHandler is called multiple times, but the last time
failed due to the PREALLOCCHECK, the subject.data member will be
a freed, but invalid pointer. To prevent a double-free next time
TNEFSubjectHandler is entered, set it to zero after freeing.

Resolves: #85
