Can you please use "valgrind" to check for a memory leak?

http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Debugging#Using_Valgrind

CMD="v.label.sa map=usfs_roads2008 column=RTE_NO labels=roads2008 font=Vera"

valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes --show-reachable=yes  $CMD --o

The result will be long - you may send it offlist to me and I'll
extract the relevant part for the list.
