  Code doesn't magically change.

  The valgrind output you included shows that memory is "leaked" when
the server exits.  This isn't a problem, as the server is exiting.

  If you want the server to clean up memory on exit, use the "-m"
command-line option.  This is documented.  See "man radiusd".

  There is no cause for concern.
