How about third-party libraries, e.g. TIFF library? Are they tested 
against memory leaks (or perhaps they are used 'incorrectly', so memory 
is not freed finally)? They don't use POV-Ray memory allocation routines 
and as it seems from description, problem is related to image maps. So 
even if POV-Ray code itself does not leak, POV-Ray as whole might have 
memory leaks.
