It is definitely a leak.
'Being reachable' has nothing to do with whether it is a leak or not. If you
malloc() something but never free() it, it leaks essentially. Being reachable
only means the leak detector (here, valgrind) is unable to tell whether it is a
false leak that would eventually be freed after the detector itself terminates.
