My valgrind (1.0.4) reports 230k of these 250k as 'still reachable'. A
quick look showed that most of these are caused by static data. I
think we should not worry about it.

After starting a level and then shutting down it only reports 3.4k of
really lost memory (opposed to 413k of 'still reachable' memory). 

What I want to say: I do not see many "real" leaks.
