Actually, I saw the same leaks, but since they were fixed in size, I did
not bother about them. But now that someone has raised this question,
can't the memory be freed at some point of time instead of leaking?
I must say though, that very mysteriously this leak has disappeared from
my code, now that I am using BIOs.
It just feels good to know your program does not leak a single byte :)
