I believe there may be a memory leak in 6.4.7-4 in locale.c. It appears that on line 873 the variable xml is malloc'ed and never released. Here is a snippit from a valgrind report that I ran:

==16432== 49,381 bytes in 1 blocks are possibly lost in loss record 17 of 17

We fixed the problem you reported. Look for the patch in ImageMagick 6.4.7-5 available sometime tomorrow. Thanks.
