I believe that this used the old libstdc++-v2 implementation.  Either
way, the FSF didn't release gcc 2.96; you could contact Red Hat.

URL or other context?  Surely not written circa gcc 3.1.1 release time.

All patches related to known memory leaks in the libstdc++-v3 STL/threaded
implementation are already in the GCC Repository.  I am fairly sure
that no improvements/fixes in this area have been made post gcc 3.1.1
release.

Please post the *smallest* reasonable test case with a leak if you
want me to look at something in depth.  I do promise to look at such
postings.
