[Boost-users] Are memory leaks reported by Boost.Test Microsoft Memory Leak Detection Enabling spurious or real?

I've just added some code (ready for Inverse Gaussian distribution in
preparation for  Boost.Math).

When I added one new section of kosher-looking C++ code, I started to see
memory leaks reported:

For example:

*** No errors detected
  Detected memory leaks!
  Dumping objects ->
  {3485} normal block at 0x003611B0, 42 bytes long.
   Data: <class boost::mat> 63 6C 61 73 73 20 62 6F 6F 73 74 3A 3A 6D 61 74 
  {3484} normal block at 0x003635A0, 8 bytes long.
   Data: <  6  46 > B0 11 36 00 F8 34 36 00
...

But no filename is given as promised by
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e5ewb1h3%28v=VS.80%29.aspx

So I'm puzzled if/where I should look for a problem.

(occurs for both debug and release)

Or is this spurious?  Should I just suppress the warnings?
