* This memory was allocated from:
malloc [rtlib.o]
xmalloc [alloc.c:390]
regex_compile [regex.c:3099]
re_compile_pattern [regex.c:5953]
compile_pattern_1 [search.c:143]
compile_pattern [search.c:186]
string_match_1 [search.c:387]
It does look pretty suspect. There is loads of 'passing the pointer
being done'. How rare are systems without REGEX_MAY_ALLOC? I suspect
this case is exercised less. However it migth well be that the
particular rexexp ist just never GCed.
A few of the other ones seem to be in the image code, that is pretty new.
