TBH, I do not think we should do anything about this. It has never been
project policy that short-lived programs should free everything before
exiting, and I don't think we should change that. initdb, in particular,
would need a huge amount of work to meet such a policy, and it would
really be entirely wasted effort. Just because you've configured your
tools to enforce an unreasonable policy doesn't make it a reasonable one.
