[Proj] possible memory leak in pj_free ??

[Sue Dettling]

Hi, 
I am using the debian linux (etch) version of proj.
I instantiate a projection object with the following:

if ( (_inputProj = pj_init(6,inputPrjArgs )) == NULL)
  {
    cerr << "ProjInfo::_projectData(): ERROR: Failed to initialize Proj.4 "
	 << "projection object." << endl;
    return(1);
  }

where inputPrjArgs[] = {"proj=laea", "lat_0=38", "lon_0=-98", "x_0=0", "y_0=0", "units=m"}.

It seems to work fine based on output data.

I free the projection with:

if (_inputProj)
    pj_free(_inputProj); 

In stepping through with a debugger I see that the pj_free call is made
however when using valgrind to check for memory leaks I get:

=17191== 48 bytes in 2 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 1 of 1

Are there any known or possible leaks with pj_free ?

Thanks for any advice,
