  The c.es env_set is (re)allocated for each "sighup loop iteration", while
it was free'd only once at process shutdown.  Move the env_set_destroy()
call to match the same level as the env_set_create() call to fix that.

This like the right fix and even though the leak is small we should fix
it nevertheless.
