As I said most of us don't see it...

If you want to help get the MemProf tool and run civclient with it
(it is quite easy to use, even I could!). Then you can just click the
"leak" button and be told where the leak is. Please use a the very latest
CVS version as of now, as I just fixed some other minor leaks.
(those I fixed are minor, but they will make the generated output much
easier read when they are not cluttering the table)
