valgrind output

Dear all,

        When trying to inspect possible leaks in my code, I ran it with valgrind ("valgrind --leak-check=full --log-file=valgrind.out --error-limit=no" options). Most of the errors I got are of the form:

==29354== 44 bytes in 1 blocks are possibly lost in loss record 70,362 of 113,643

which seem to be related to ROOT. Is this something known? Can I ignore these errors?

Thanks for your help, and Best Regards,
