Not sure about anything before 3.3, but there have been numerous leak
fixes post 3.3.1.

Could you perhaps try a recent git snapshot?

Or, if you prefer make dist tarballs (so you only need to ./configure &&
make && make install, pretty much), then the following address has a git
snapshot (built around every midnight, but I triggered a rebuild a
couple of hours ago):
