You've used a complex tool intended for experienced developers
that understand its output, on ~5 year old software that runs for
less than 2 seconds. It's no surprise you got that response,
especially on the developers list.

No, you shouldn't be worried about small memory leaks in something
that exits so fast.

Yes, you should be worried that your software is so out of date -
upgrade.

Cheers,

Matthew
