I ran a leaks
report on a program I am developing, with the following results:
Process 2454: 155054 nodes malloced for 7464 KB
Process 2454: 6 leaks for 608 total leaked bytes.

The thing is, I'm not even linking to the Security framework, nor am I using any data types of SecCertificate
or SecKeychainItem
(or any that reference those data types, to my knowledge). I'm not using the Keychain at all. I never saw this leak from my program during testing before; it just cropped up today. Why would leaks report such a memory leak?
It might likely be a false positive. If it is only 608 bytes leaked ever, don't worry about it.
Feel free to file a bug via http://bugreport.apple.com/, though.
