Confused by your question :-)
The way free_all_values works is that it's only run after a command.
For instance, a breakpoint command, or a user-typed command. It's not
run every time we stop the target and do some thinking if the thinking
is not in the form of a command. So it's possible to get values
created that don't get cleaned up for a while.
Leaked was probably not the right word, just not GC'd promptly.
