"Not being free()ed" and "not being returned to the OS" are two different
things.  So unless you see a memory increase on reconnect, I'd guess it
is "memory is free()ed, but due to whatever reasons not returned to the
OS by the malloc library".

(In your case, it might be worthwile to investigate linking with PolarSSL
instead of OpenSSL, as the memory footprint is *much* smaller, from the
numbers Brad posted)
