[cairo] Memory leak in text functions?

[Jan Slupski]

Hi,

I'm using Cairo to create image surface, and when trying to 
use any text related function (eg. cairo_text_extents),
I'm observing quite big memory leak.

I've searched the archives, and couldn't find anything related.
Is it possible that I did something wrong (eg. with compilation)?

I've tried Cairo 1.0.4, as well as today's git version.

The leak is detected by valgrind tool in text.c from 
cairo-demo package, as well as in following tiny example:

#include <cairo.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
   cairo_surface_t *surface;
   cairo_t *cr;
   cairo_text_extents_t size;

   surface = cairo_image_surface_create (CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, 800, 600);
   cr = cairo_create (surface);

   cairo_text_extents(cr, "Hello", &size);
   printf("size: %.2fx%.2f advance x: %.2f y: %.2f bearing x: %.2f y: %.2f\n",size.width,size.height,size.x_advance,size.y_advance, size.x_bearing, size.y_bearing);
   cairo_destroy (cr);
   cairo_surface_destroy (surface);
   return 0;
}


Valgrind output:

$ valgrind ./extents

Please let me know in case you need any more information.
