I've run XrdClient code through the Valgrind memory checker and have 
found multiple leaks.

1-------------------------------------------------------------
Valgrind:
==27481== 32 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 5 of 
22
==27481==    at 0x1B903E96: operator new(unsigned) 
(vg_replace_malloc.c:133)
==27481==    by 0x8064780: XrdClientConn::DoHandShake(short) 
(XrdClientConn.cc:1022)
==27481==    by 0x8062BD4: XrdClientConn::GetAccessToSrv() 
(XrdClientConn.cc:804)
==27481==    by 0x805BA80: XrdClient::Open(unsigned short, unsigned 
short) (XrdClient.cc:160)

Code:
             fLBSUrl = new XrdClientUrlInfo(fUrl.GetUrl());

Resolution:
	-The destructor ~XrdClientConn must delete 'fLSBUrl' AND before each 
'fLBSUrl = new ...' must do a delete
	-A better solution would be to make fLSBUrl a 
std::auto_ptr<XrdClientUrlInfo>

2-------------------------------------------------------------
Valgrind:
==27481== 80 bytes in 4 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 9 of 
22
==27481==    at 0x1B903E96: operator new(unsigned) 
(vg_replace_malloc.c:133)
==27481==    by 0x8070934: XrdClientPhyConnection::BuildMessage(bool, 
bool) (XrdClientPhyConnection.cc:384)
==27481==    by 0x806EBA3: SocketReaderThread 
(XrdClientPhyConnection.cc:50)

Code:
	XrdClientPhyConnection::BuildMessage returns a new XrdClientMessage, 
but in SocketReaderThread we see

    while (1) {
      thisObj->BuildMessage(TRUE, TRUE);
      thisObj->CheckAutoTerm();
    }
	the return value is ignored

Resolution:
	-delete the value returned from the line ' thisObj->BuildMessage(TRUE, 
TRUE);'
	-better solution is to have XrdClientPhyConnection::BuildMessage 
return a
		std::auto_ptr<XrdClientMessage>

3-------------------------------------------------------------
Valgrind:
==27481== 231 bytes in 9 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 15 
of 22
==27481==    at 0x1B903D1C: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:131)
==27481==    by 0x4207A5EF: strdup (in /lib/tls/libc-2.3.2.so)
==27481==    by 0x807FF7B: XrdNetDNS::getHostName(sockaddr&, char**, 
int, char**) (in /A/lnx106/cdat/linux/t
em/cdj/build/xrootd/Linux/bin/testExe.exe)

(in /A/lnx106/cdat/linux/tem/cdj/build/

==27481==    by 0x807FDC9: XrdNetDNS::getHostName(char*, char**) (in

==27481==    by 0x8067894: XrdClientConn::GetDomainToMatch(std::string) 
(XrdClientConn.cc:1545)
==27481==    by 0x805F88F: XrdClientConn::XrdClientConn() 
(XrdClientConn.cc:74)
==27481==    by 0x805AB5E: XrdClient::XrdClient(char const*) 
(XrdClient.cc:50)

Code:
	The 2nd argument of XrdNetDNS::getHostName(sockaddr&, char**, int, 
char**) returns a new 'char*' which is not deleted.  This value is 
returned from XrdNetDNS::getHostName(char*, char**)


Resolution:
	 -XrdClientConn::GetDomainToMatch(..) should delete the value returned 
from XrdNetDNS::getHostName
	 -better, change the code to use 'std::string' instead of 'char*'
