I would guess so. The valgrind output definitely hints at that. I just 
don't know SSL or its analyzer at all, so I'm afraid I might not be much 
help :-(

(BTW, the memory problems I have/had weren't "real" leaks. One a SSL 
connection was done Bro would free the memory for it again. The problem 
is that many SSL connections can live for days and thus they ultimately 
consume memory like a "real" leak would).
