Thanks for the fix! I can verify that when applied against current linus-git kernel that my original test case no longer leaks memory. I've also run the full PAPI regression tests, plus the BLAS/PAPI benchmark code that originally showed the problem and everything checks out fine. It's a shame this fix didn't make it in before 2.6.38.
