[Dotgnu-libjit] valgrind reports memory leak in libjit

[Alexey Galakhov]

Hello,

I'm trying to develop a program for continuous running using libjit.
However I found that either libjit does not free memory or valgrind
gives the false report.

For example, let's use t1.c from the tutorial for a testcase:

mul_add(3, 5, 2) = 17

I tried that with Git version as of Oct 20, 2012 (last commit
7d33e65ebc0885ab93d9cab5c622e45c53486274 by Aleksey Demakov).

Am I missing something? Is it a bug?
