Description

Hi Folks,

I have encountered what looks like a memory leak in messenger if someone could verify?

I have attached some code which runs under valgrind --leak-check=full to produce the following output.

Can anyone verify if there is a way to clean this up or is this a leak in proton-c 0.5?

Cheers,
Frank
