This ticket is so the issue doesnt get lost. I tried to fudge the build (and added some extra code) to build perl with MSVCRT's debug version memory leak reporting[1], which reported only a single leak, which appears with perl -e0 or perl -e "`dir` for 1..100`". I don't see a leak if I build perl with PERL_MALLOC defined (which requires disabling USE_IMP_SYS). I don't see a leak with all of PERL_MALLOC, USE_MULTI, USE_ITHREADS, USE_IMP_SYS undefined. No leak with just USE_MULTI re-enabled out of those. Right now I suspect something in the USE_IMP_SYS layer.
