Tool tip memory leak

Question

I seem to have a memory leak associated with tool tips.  When ever I place the mouse over a panel using tool tips I cas see the dynamic memory usage continuously increasing.  If I comment out the call to the tool tip functions (i.e. SetCtrlToolTipAttribute), the memory leak dissapears.
