I found a particularly useful thread from 2006 entitled "better malloc strageties" in the OpenLDAP archives. As I result I packaged up libhoard, installed it, and re-ran the valgrind test. The short test showed no memory leaks. I will perform more extensive tests, but this appears to have fixed the problem. Thanks for your work, then and now.
