You probably need to use an unstripped binary in order to find out where 
mallocs/frees occur.  Most of the occurrences you notice are either 
one-time leaks.  Moreover, 2.4.13 is out, and it might have fixed some. 
  I suggest you further investigate using the latest code, using an 
unstripped binary.
