Package: libstdc++5
Version: 1:3.3.2-4
Severity: minor

The memory allocated by std::map in the following sample program seems
never to be freed:

#include <map>
int main()
{
        std::map<int, int> a;
}

... as the following output from valgrind suggests:

I am inclined to assume that the memory is kept in some pool. If so,
having a way to make libstdc++ free it anyway would make finding real
leaks easier.
