Michael,

I tried the following command with one test point under valgrind
and it did not seem to indicate any memory leaks:

   cs2cs +proj=latlong +datum=NAD27 +to +proj=latlong +datum=NAD83

This did load and use the conus grid shift file.  I also tried a
point using the New Zealand NTv2 grid shift file.  Also no report of
problems.

Could you be more specific about how you have determined there is a leak?

Best regards,
