I don't know exactly what a memory leak is, but I can tell you some more
about how MP+ behaved in my case.

Well, I have this animation that doesn't use any MP+ features at all. When I
render it in regular MP everything is fine and the peak memory used is about
the same for every frame.
But when I render the same animation in MP+ the peak memory used increases
rapidly for every frame, like they are added together. This makes it
practically impossible to render a whole animation.

I don't want to start over 20 times to render a short animation.

I don't know if they are directly related. Maybe not.
