Most memory leaks found by AddressSanitizer in coreutils are false alarms. That being said, if you find one that isn't a false alarm we'd be interested in hearing about it. Stack overflows are also good to report too, except for tricky user-specified regular expressions (which require exponential resources in the worst case, no matter what the implementation is).
That one's not a real bug. 'install' is exiting, rather than calling
'free' a couple of times just before exiting; calling 'free' would
simply chew up runtime resources for no reason other than to pacify
AddressSanitizer. So I'll close this particular bug report.
