I can confirm that this program (from libstdc++/2517):

#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
  string s1="hi",s2;
  while(true)
    s2=s1+" there.";
  return(0);
}

runs fine without a detectable memory leak on i386-unknown-freebsd4.2
when compiled with mainline gcc built last night with -O0, -O, -O2,
and -O2 -pthread.
