I'm trying to see if I can find some leaks myself in Apple's TopSongs app. Can someone help me out in at least one and how to identify what is in the Leaks reports and how I can get an idea on finding them?

ie: I got one like this:

#    Category    Event Type  Timestamp   Address Size    Responsible Library Responsible Caller
0   GeneralBlock-448    Malloc  00:02.185   0x3f41220   448 libxml2.2.dylib xmlNewParserCtxt

From what I can tell, the method xmlNewParserCtxt is the problem, and it's not releasing an object, hence Malloc. The responsible library tells me it's the libxml2.2.dylib library with the problem, which I can't edit.

Am I heading in the right direction? If so, half the leaks are in that library and well, i can't edit that.
