These are a common form of 'false positive' that you get from valgrind.
OpenSSL seems to be particularly offensive. I once emailed the valgrind
maintainers about these and there is apparently something that can be
done about this, but the details escape me and the solution would lie
with OpenSSL.

Yes. All these errors (without exception) are from within OpenSSL. I
don't see
how libcurl can do anything to avoid them. I'd advice you to take these
concerns to an OpenSSL development forum.
