This is no leak as if it were possible to adjust the balancer settings via
the balancer manager their memory would need to be taken from a long living
pool or more precise from the shared memory. This is not implemented now.
So it makes no sense to adjust the balancer settings via the balancer manager.
For this reason this possibility was removed from trunk. So far no one has
found the energy to propose a clear backport of this change.
So if someone find the energy soon, fine. If not please leave everything as it
is as we face segfaults otherwise.
