  Yes, that kind of "self-made" memory management is of big help, of course.
  What I wonder is that if that library can report unfreed memory at the
end of the program, why there are memory leaks in povray?

  Btw, not freeing allocated memory in the right place but letting the
library to do it is usually a sign of a bug.
