This can happen as a result of "differential inlining".  What I mean is, you
have `new` calls `malloc` and `delete` calls `free`, and the definitions of
`malloc` and `free` are visible to the compiler (maybe you defined your own
wrappers for them).  Then, if `malloc` is inlined into `new` but `free` is
not inlined into `delete`, or vice versa, then you will get these reports.

I have this a lot when running Firefox on Valgrind, so I run with
--show-mismatched-frees=no.
