The problem is that you've told valgrind to report all memory that is still allocated, but having allocated blocks that are still reachable at the end of the program is perfectly normal in most systems as most people are happy just to let the system discard the remaining memory on process exit rather than try and free it all. So it's not clear that, at least for any of the example messages you posted, there is any problem here.
