[xml] libxml2-2.6.4 python tests question

["Gerrit P. Haase" <freeweb nyckelpiga de>]

Hi,

I'm the maintainer of the libxml and libxslt packages for the Cygwin
netrelease.  I'm just about finishing the packages for the latest
libxml2/libxslt releases.

Now when running the tests I see this during the tests of the Python
bindings:

make[1]: Entering directory `/p/instsoft/XML/libxml2-2.6.4/python/tests'
-- build.py
OK
-- attribs.py
OK
-- tst.py
OK
-- tstxpath.py
Memory leak 8 bytes
-- xpathext.py

-- error.py
OK
-- serialize.py
OK
-- validate.py
OK
-- tstURI.py
OK
-- cutnpaste.py
OK
-- xpathret.py
Memory leak 4 bytes
[...]



I configured with these options among the usual:
  --with-history --with-thread-alloc --enable-ipv6=no

Python is v2.3.3 and Cygwin is v1.5.5 with gcc-3.3.1 and all other
tools are the latest available releases for Cygwin.

Are these memory leaks in libxml2 (or the python module), are these
leaks in cygwin1.dll or are these leaks in python-2.3.3?

Anything I should know about that or anything I can do?
