Storage leaks

Once upon a time, there was code that would free up most/all of the memory 
that we had allocated when ntpd exited.  So valgrind could be used to look 
for storage leaks without having to wade through too much noise.

Has anybody tried that lately?

How much to we care about storage leaks?  How much effort should we put 
into making sure the exit cleanup gets everything?

Is there a clean way to get the total amount of memory allocated?  it 
would be easy to monitor that.
