The reason is that thare are some conceptual bugs in the ac interface:
The ownership of some memory objects are not always clear and thus it is
hard to free them at the right place.  I have given up on fixing them.
This is one reasons for the deprecation of the ac interface.

If it is at all possible for you, you should migrate to the pk
interface.
