HTProfile memory leak?

I am having a problem with what appears to be a memory leak using the
HTProfile function. Using the Linux top command, I was able to see an
increase in the size of the program with each call of the class function
listed below. If I comment out the HTProfile_newNoCacheClient and
HTProfile_delete() commands, the memory leak goes away. In addition, I
commented out everything but those two commands, and the memory increase
persisted. It appears that the HTProfile_delete() command is not completely
cleaning up the memory, unless I'm missing something? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

String wwwASPInet::getData(String query)
{
  
  if (_source_url.Length() == 0)
  {
    _error = "Error: URL not set.\n";
    _errid = -3002;
    return "";
  } // end if - _source_url

  HTRequest * request = HTRequest_new();
  HTChunk * chunk = NULL;

  //concatenate the URL and the query.
  String url = _source_url + "?" + query;

  //HTProfile_newClient("wwwnet", "1.0"); // tried this one too
  HTProfile_newNoCacheClient("wwwnet", "1.0");
  HTRequest_setOutputFormat(request, WWW_SOURCE);
  HTRequest_setPreemptive(request, YES);
  HTAlert_setInteractive(NO);

  char * cwd = HTGetCurrentDirectoryURL();
  char * absolute_url = HTParse(url.itsData, cwd, PARSE_ALL);
  HTAnchor * anchor = HTAnchor_findAddress(absolute_url);

  // this query gets the data
  chunk = HTLoadAnchorToChunk(anchor, request);

  if (HTChunk_data(chunk) == NULL) 
  {
    _error = "Error: Could not get CONTENT_LENGTH information";
    _errid = -3003;
    cout << "here" << endl;
    HT_FREE(absolute_url);
    HT_FREE(cwd);
    HTRequest_delete(request);
    HTProfile_delete();
    return "";
  } // end if - QueryInfo

  String message;
  message = HTChunk_toCString(chunk);

  HT_FREE(absolute_url);
  HT_FREE(cwd);
  HTRequest_delete(request);
  HTProfile_delete();

  return message;
  
} // end - getData
