How to avoid the following purify detected memory leak in C++?

I am getting the following memory leak.Its being probably caused by std::string. how can i avoid it?

PLK: 23 bytes potentially leaked at 0xeb68278

I once had a case where Valgrind indicated I had leaks in std::string, but I couldn't see how. It turned out that I was leaking another object that held strings by value, but Valgrind correctly also caught the leaked string memory (which was the vast majority being leaked). I suspect that uec_UEDir isn't managing its strings correctly or is being leaked itself. I actually ended up finding my problem by very careful code inspection.
