Most likely the answer is no, or if there are the amount is so small as to
be practically unmeasurable. It is much more likely that unexpected memory
observations results from either having bad expectations, improper
configuration and usage patterns for the size system being observed, or
both.

The SO stuff you linked to doesn’t seem particularly incriminating in terms
of there being a leak.
