Package: libxcb1
Version: 1.7-1
Severity: normal

Hello, according to valgrind, there appears to be a memory leak in libxcb.
Here's a relavant error block when I run glxgears through valgrind:

$ valgrind --leak-check=full glxgears
==11308== 124 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 49 of 81
