Still, (as I said earlier) I feel that it is not a good idea to go with the patch that has been applied to oids.c since this will make all Windows based versions to leak allocated memory. This should not have to be an issue for users of the officially released binaries (1.0 for instance). It need only affect the Windows based developers that do not have MS VC6 at hand until a long term solution has been applied.

Sounds reasonable: I'll commit a patch shortly (adapted from your previous suggestion) to do this.
