This tells you where the memory was allocated. If you are trying to track down a memory leak, you need to look into what is keeping this memory live in the heap. The fact that it was allocated here is a start. But your next step is to look at what calls to this function are allocating memory, and what is happening to that memory to keep it alive. The pprof program can help tell you where the calls are coming from, but then you'll have to look at what happens to those strings and why they are being kept live.
