Which matches with the notion that it seems to be a *small* regular malloc()
which is never freed.

That means, total leaked is approximately: 142550-46504-10000 = 86046 KB
That's an approximate: 86046/2344439 = 37.6 bytes
per request. Substracting malloc overhead,
that means that the average object size lost is 29.6 bytes per request.

How well does that fit in with other samples?
You didn't show your request count, Jon.
