Short is answer, no bug, disable WITH_CXX_GUARDEDALLOC.

Long answer: WITH_CXX_GUARDEDALLOC is off by default and not in the
standard view (you need to toggle advanced), which I did so people
didn't turn it on by accident :).
This is a debugging option which enables #ifdefs to override many
C++'s allocators with our C malloc replacement which complains of
unfreed memory.

These 'C++/anonymous len: 16 0x3839ce8', can be ignored since they are
variables like...
  STR_String emptyString= "";
in the main body of C++ source and not worth the trouble to manually free.

'GHOST:GHOST_IEvent len: 40 0x3aaa498' could be a leak but I'd not
worry about it unless they accumulate.
