I also found a bunch of similar leaks, plus one different kind which was leaking on every xpath find. I communicated once with Dan Janowski and sent him this set of patches, then never heard back from him again, so not sure what happened. Here are the leaks I fixed, if you have others, please make a diff and post them! I could really use it!

Thanks for the patch. I've applied it, and found about 6 other places
similar issues were happening.
