Memory leak when upgrading from 11.3.1 to 2018.3

The reproducer code below did not leak with MKL 11.3.1 but does with MKL 2018.3

Please ignore the (known) 2 leaks from dlopen that will be suppressed.

Tested on CentOS 7

#include <mkl.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	mkl_thread_free_buffers();
	mkl_free_buffers();
	return 0;
}

interesting, thanks for report, we will check. meantime, did you try to use Intel Inspector to check if this problem will be detected by this tool also?
