Yeah, the bottom line here is that valgrind will warn about many things
that are not genuine problems.  You need to learn how to judge the tool's
reports.  A single allocation that is still reachable at program exit is
almost never a real problem.  If it's unreachable, or there's a lot of
instances, it may be worth worrying about.
