In the C library you'll find some hiding inside various string 
manipulationg functions, typically allocating a one-time buffer on a 
lazy/or demand basis. Probably nothing to worry about as one-time 
buffers are not to be freed by the caller anyway.

Thats a painful bug you've got there. Not too bad when you know what you 
are looking at, but until then a complete mystery.
