getpwuid memory leak?!?

Hi,

while running my App using "ObjectAlloc" I get memory allocation that are not deallocated / static allocated when calling

getpwuid

Looking at the man pages I can not find any reference to the fact that I'm responsible for releasing the memory allocated in getpwuid. Is this a bug in the documentation or is this a bug in the OS that with each call to getpwuid memory gets allocated.

Here is a stack crawl returned by "ObjectAlloc"


getpwuid
    getpw
        getpw_internal
            copy_user
                strdup
                    malloc
                        malloc_zone_malloc

getpwuid
    getpw
        getpw_internal
            copy_user
                calloc

I'm running on Mac OS X 10.4.2

Thanks,

Martin
