Fix handling of xref links with anchors

When browsing an HTML document with Yelp, double-clicking on a link that contains an anchor (e.g. `#sub2`) will make it crash.

See the attached patch for a fix.

I find strange that it requires a double-click and not a single click to reach the anchor. Should I open another bug for this?

I can't reproduce the crash or the need to double-click. But the
patch is obviously correct, because we otherwise potentially free
res_arg right after storing a pointer to part of it.

Resolving as fixed since you provided the patch as a fix. Please
reopen or file a new bug if there's still a problem.
