I don't recall any such leak, but if valgrind says it was leaked then it
probably was! Feel free to dig into changelogs and the commit history to see
if it has been adressed explicitly and how.

Can you please provide a small sample app that makes the leak occur with a
current libcurl?

I don't know and I don't have the time or energy to dig into that old version.
If valgrind stops complaining and your code still runs as expected, I would
say it is a good indication the leak was fixed in a decent way.
