 This is not a leak. The ownership of the facet is transferred to the
 locale object. The facet will be deleted when the locale is.

 Regarding the valgrind report, I think this is due to the fact that the
 locale does not get deleted when valgrind makes its report. This is
 because standard streams are not destroyed at this point.

 You can try adding "std::cout.imbue(std::locale())" at the end of your
 main() and see if the facet is deleted then.
