I am not sure if I understand you correctly. Could you please try to be 
more explicit?

Which tmp object are you refering to?
Where did you read what?

I guess your original sample exhibits the leak?

I'll try to reproduce locally:
In order to get equivalent test conditions, could you post the exact 
steps you used to create and invoke the test?

No I don't expect so. They should currently be the same.
