Thank you very much. I looked into those leaks in glibc and they 
appeared to be fixed (at least some of them):

http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=d44638b0a7fc1f01c3b2153cfa1bbb849f01f217;hp=da0331a873dbb62462c151c3d824da2f6fe2e770

Sadly this fix is in 2.16 and ubuntu 12.04 is shipped with glibc 2.15. 
When I get next version of glibc, I will check my program again.
