Comment:

 I believe that the "bytes allocated" amount is cumulative (the sum of all
 the allocations), not the actual amount of memory that is actually used by
 the process at any given time. (So if you allocate 1MB and then
 immediately free it, it will still factor into that count.)

 If you want to actually see details about the non-leaked memory being
 allocated, the [http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/ms-manual.html massiff
 profiler] in valgrind can do that.
