curl doesn't even use 500 KB when it's operating, so this memory leak must
be caused by something else. What is the size of the data that you're
downloading? Could it be about 450 KB? You don't show all your code,
but I don't see anywhere that the m_szbuffer member is being freed or
cleared. You should also call curl_global_cleanup when you're trying to
find sources of memory usage. Which version of libcurl are you using?
Memory leaks are occasionally found and fixed in more recent versions.
