(even though I don't think you formally need a vote. we're still at
5.3.2.pre1.)

I'm glad you found that bug before it made it into a release. Shall a
valgrind test like that one be added to the release testing in some way?
IMHO it makes a whole lot of sense to detect major memory leaks before
shipping a release. (I'm aware we can't detect each and every memory
leak, but it may help preventing the worst ones.)
