Add suppressions for all of them. Any decent memory checker has to
account for the reality that many programs don't bother freeing memory
before exit.
Valgrind (Memcheck) generally only complains about unfreed blocks for which
there is no pointer in live data, ie. truly leaked ones. But it's not
perfect, there are various ways it can be fooled.
