After doing...

 ssgEntity *loadThis = ssgLoad(tmp);
 delete loadThis;
 loadThis = NULL;

...the debugger reports that memory allocated to current_branch hasn't
been deallocated, so the leak is somewhere in the loader at least.

This is the part of the debug loggin that contains the block that seems to
be causing the leak. 
<snip>
        Found chunk 4000 of length 54 (known)
        Object block "default#1"
            Found chunk 4700 of length 38 (unknown)
    Found chunk B000 of length 1313 (known)
<snip>

It's the last Object block (of two) which might explain why the
current_branch pointer seems to be responsible for the leak. 

Maybe it has something to do with there being a dummy object in the model?

I can send you my model if you like, it's just ~50kb in size.
