I don't see any obvious leaks in your example code, and neither do any 
of the involved xsubs look suspect.  Running your program with "valgrind 
--tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes" might give more information.  If you 
can boil down the leaking program to a small example that still exhibits 
the problem, posting it to the list might also help.
