Memory leak in sensors panel plugin

[Weedy]

I use coretemp, i8k, and nvidia sensors.

For the test I nuked the sensors plugin and added it back with only
"core 0" from the coretemp-0 sensor.
One second refresh. It always starts up around 50mb RSS, and I end up
killing it around 85+.

After running this a few times I think the leak is the the general
result fetching code. While I didn't specifically try fans only next,
everyone should have coretemp. And if everyone has coretemp then
anyone else should be able to corroborate this.
