There are a number of places where there are potential memory leaks, especially in parsing bracketed character classes. SVs are allocated, and when a warning occurs they don't get cleaned up.

There should be an audit done for where these occur.

How would we go about detecting such memory links and conducting such an audit?

Thank you very much.

I'm talking about code reading perhaps augmented with experimentation.
