Subject Memory Leak (IBPP)

OK, before Helen drops the flying-elbow on me, I all ready know this is likely the wrong place for this, so feel free to respond to federonline at yahoo dot com

I'm trying to find out if there is a fix for a memory leak in IBPP.

I am using IBPP to interface with the DB via C++ and I got the following reports from Valgrind:

==8361== 292 (52 direct, 240 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 1 of 3

Thanks in advance, and please don't slap me too hard, Helen.
I really need to fix this and I get great help here...
