Due to your surprise, I tried a completely clean build with
-DSTRANGE_MALLOC, and yes! the leak disappears!

I had previously just run Configure with the additional
-DSTRANGE_MALLOC answer to cc flags question and done a "make"
followed by a "make install". Something must not have taken.

This gives me a starting point at least, so I'm off to see if my
larger system now stops leaking.

Thanks for the help,
