Memory Leak using STL - gcc-3.2 and gcc-2.95.3

[Stefan Jones]

Dear Sirs,
	After checking for leaks in C++ programs compiled with gcc I found the
following, both in 3.2and 2.95.3

Some memory was always leaked when using the STL, found using mtrace()
in glibc.

C++ code:

main.cpp is:
-------------
#include <list>
#include <mcheck.h>
using namespace std;
void boo() {
   list<int> l;
}
int main()
{
  mtrace();
  boo();
  return 0;
}
-------------
saj@sajX RotaryDB $ export MALLOC_TRACE="log"
saj@sajX RotaryDB $ /opt/gcc-3/bin/g++ --version
saj@sajX RotaryDB $ /opt/gcc-3/bin/g++ -g -o test main.cpp  saj@sajX
saj@sajX RotaryDB $ ./test
saj@sajX RotaryDB $ mtrace test log

Memory not freed:
-----------------
   Address     Size     Caller
0x0804a028    0x280  at
/root/gcc-3.2/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/new_op.cc:49

saj@sajX RotaryDB $ cat log
= Start
@ /opt/gcc-3/lib/libstdc++.so.5:(_Znwj+0x2e)[0x4007a80e] + 0x804a028
0x280


did a backtrace using gdb of the offending malloc:
