Memory leak for UIImageView?

Question

I did the the following steps:

1. Create a view-based iPad application in Xcode,
2. Open the .xib file, add an UIImageView, set an image for it(a 200x100 image).
3. Launch the program by Run>Run with performance tool>Leak

And there are two leaks reported:

Leaked Object  #   Address Size    Responsible Library Responsible Frame
Malloc 128 Bytes        0x72186d0   128 ImageIO BuildPluginListPurple
Malloc 128 Bytes        0x4712000   128 CoreGraphics open_handle_to_dylib_path

So....What is happening?

Thanks

If you are testing in the simulator, you should try running the same test on an actual iPad. Odds are that you won't see the leak there.
