As a follow-up, I did some further research and I don't see how this is a
libcurl leak. It seems the leak is done by getaddrinfo() beyond our control.
We use freeaddrinfo() fine on the pointer as we should. That's also why our
own memory leak tracking system shows no leakage.

This reported "leak" shows even if I do plain "curl www.google.com -o
/dev/null".

Result: ignore I said anything. Move along, nothing to see here! ;-)
