initialization

Hi all,

looks like a memory leak when i try to initializing an array of pointers, this my code:

void initLabelTable(){
register int i;
hashNode** hp;
labelHashTable = (hashNode**) malloc(HASHSIZE*sizeof(hashNode*));
hp = labelHashTable;
for(i=0; i<HASHSIZE; i++) {
    *(hp+i) = NULL;
}

}

any idea?
