Using gcrypt gnutls leak some memory (about 2 Kbi).
Following a small program that leak memory
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
int main()
{
gnutls_global_init();
gnutls_global_deinit();
return 0;
}
gnutls_global_init calls gc_init to initialize gcrypt however
gnutls_global_deinit does not call a gc_deinit (which doesn't even
exist).
Leak appear in the call of gcry_check_version. From Valgrind log:
