Valgrind warnings using a threaded C app

[Sitsofe Wheeler]

Hello,

I am using a threaded C program and each thread creates its own
connection to mysql database using mysql_init(). When I run Valgrind on
the program it reports that there has been a small leak stemming from
several mysql_init and one mysql_real_connect. I have read
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Threaded_clients.html but despite adding
my_thread_init(), my_thread_end() and linking against mysqlclient_r a
leak is still reported. Here is some of the output valgrind produces:

==10028== 23 bytes in 1 blocks are still reachable in loss record 1 of 13

....

Is this report spurious? If not what am I doing wrong to cause this
leak?

I am running "mysql Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.56, for pc-linux (i686)" on
RedHat 7.3. If I have the wrong list, please point me toward the correct
one!
