Please use git format-patch to prepare your patches. Also please try to
convince your MUA to use text/plain for patches.

Static variables are unacceptable. And indeed, these are wrong: you are
counting several instances, possibly of different APIs, but with a
single counter.

The way I read things, the leak you are trying to fix does not exist: it
is global state, kept until the end but not lost.
