==29663== LEAK SUMMARY:
==29663==    definitely lost: 1,056 bytes in 10 blocks
==29663==    indirectly lost: 44,134 bytes in 304 blocks
==29663==      possibly lost: 695,913 bytes in 7,016 blocks
==29663==    still reachable: 44,373,186 bytes in 4,993 blocks
==29663==         suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks

This is the summary at the end of the log. No appreciable memory leak. 45kB between definitely lost and indirectly lost. I would not expect this to be treated with any high priority.

Resolution: Won't Fix
Status: newclosed

The first four loss records above are duplicates of those fixed by #6734 (in 2e1e2ae2 ), where that fix was reverted to fix #9104 (in 9bfcd4e0 and backported to 0.24-fixes in 2ca5fd80 ). It seems that there's a small leak when the RecordingProfile? settings widget is used (by the recorder) without a ConfigurationGroup? (as is used in the settings pages), since the ConfigurationGroup? does the cleanup. So, without rewriting the old, legacy, Qt-based, not-mythui settings UI, we can't fix the leak (if we fix the leak when RecordingProfile? is used without ConfigurationGroup?, the settings UI will segfault when ConfigurationGroup? tries to clean up its children). Since the old settings code is going to be replaced with either a mythui-based version or an HTTP-based version or both, this will eventually get fixed as part of that rewrite, and in the meantime is small enough that it makes more sense to devote any effort toward the settings rewrite.

And I don't see any obvious issues with the code specified in the last 2 loss records, so I'm closing this as wontfix.
