We're not aware of any progressive memory leak. But, yes, there's a 
limited number of static initializer, mainly in the utils.cpp 
translation unit that are only cleaned up when the program terminates.

If you want to monitor for memory leaks, you should just take this small 
and constant offset into account.

All my best,
