This seems to be a rather fruitful perennial on this mailing list. Do we have a FAQ we can add this one to?
The general consensus seems to be: Before you ask about a memory leak in the OpenSSL libraries, try doing your complete cycle of operations twice, and seeing if you've "leaked" the same amount of memory in both cases. If you have, then the memory didn't really "leak", did it? The components of OpenSSL allocate chunks of memory when they are first initialized that are retained for the life of the process. These chunks aren't "leaked", since they do get reused.
