Should I free strtok() results?

The string functions that return pointers to memory, should their
results be freed?

Most (if not all) of the sample code in QuickC using these do
not free the results.  In fact, most code that I have seen
anywhere, these are not freed.  It only makes sense to free them though.

Any ideas?
