Yes, that is one approach I though of, but it needs changing code.  I am
looking at running gdb testsuite with valgrind, but there are too many
warnings on leak, so it is not that useful to find new leaks.

The patch is the good direction to go, so I don't want to block it.
Meanwhile, I am still looking at memory leaks reported by valgrind.

Tom, if you don't hear me by Friday this week, feel free to commit it.
