Should this be in the else clause?  From a cursory scan
add-line-range feeds it to either line-log-data-merge or
line-log-data-copy to create "new" that is a separate thing from the
parent_range we are feeding it, and that copy is used by
add-decoration.  If add-line-range does not take ownership of
parent_range from us, shouldn't we be freeing it whether we called
it or not???
