This is not about the version of (lib)curl, but about the version of NSS. A bunch of patches went in somewhere around the Fedora 11 epoch. I guess the following discussion is closely related: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402712#c56 How much does it allocate per one iteration? If it is a few bytes, then it is a known bug. If it is more, it may indicate some malfunction of AddObjectIfNeeded(). The function is responsible for recognizing an already loaded object and reusing it. The few bytes leakage is given either by suboptimal design of the framework, or my poor understanding of it. In both cases it needs to be addressed properly some day. Unfortunately, I am not really a NSS developer and don't have enough time to work on the issue at the moment. If your are able to repeat the problem with Fedora 14 NSS, please open a Fedora bug against it. Thanks in advance!
