Hi

Sorry for the delayed response. While trying to create a minimum working
example for the bug, I realised that the issue was in how we were using
valgrind and not in valgrind itself. The leak was indeed there, but the
original memory was allocated by a part of the program which wasn't run under
valgrind. 

Sorry for the noise!

Yes, a small reproducer would be nice.

Alternatively, you could use gdb + vgdb and investigate
why valgrind believes the leaked memory is still reachable, using the
monitor commands
   leak_check
   block_list
   who_points_at

Thank you for the report.

Please start with providing a simple reproducer.
File tests/test-metalink.c has around 300 lines and file tests/libtest.c almost
1000 lines. If you can squash it down to lets say 50-100, then it would great!
