This fix is quite complicated for sure. This memory leak currently affects us, 
so we're using an internal build. We would like to see a fix for this get 
merged in, and there's also a follow-up PR I'd like to do as well.

@arapte If the complexity is the issue, we are open to any suggestions for 
alternative (simpler) fixes.
