Glib hashtable memory leak

["Ovidiu Gheorghies" <ogheorghies gmail com>]

Hello all,

The following program appears to leak memory according to mtrace:

#include <glib.h>
#include <mcheck.h>

int main()
{
        mtrace();

        GHashTable* hash_table;

        hash_table=g_hash_table_new(g_str_hash, g_str_equal);
        g_hash_table_unref (hash_table);

        return 1;
}

I obtain the following result:
$ gcc test1.c -o test1 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0/ -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include/ -lglib-2.0
$ export MALLOC_TRACE=0.mtrace.log
$  ./test1; mtrace ./test1 $MALLOC_TRACE
Memory not freed:
-----------------

0x0000000000602800    0x3f0  at 0x3fea8423e1

The docs state that after unref the memory should be freed, so is there anything that I'm doing wrong?

Finally some information on my system:
