Summary: Memory Leak

Initial Comment:
I found a possible memory leak when checking my application with Valgrind. I tested this with the following latest release, here is the version output:

curl 7.19.7 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.18.2 OpenSSL/0.9.8g zlib/1.2.3.3 libidn/1.10
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap ldaps http file https ftps
Features: GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz

I've attached Valgrind report for the following example:

int main() {
    curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL);
    printf("%s\n", curl_version());
    curl_global_cleanup();
}

Message:
They're not memory leaks. The key lines are the ones that in both your logs
say:

==10835== definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.
==10835== possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.
