Comment:

 For one thing, if you allocate your own custom AVIO context, you also need
 to free it with avio_close(p), avformat_close_input is not going to do it
 for you (since you allocated it, and thus manage it).

 I obviously misinterpreted the avio_close() comment:

     "This function can only be used if s was opened by avio_open()."

 as meaning that avio_close() can only be used if s was opened by
 avio_open().

   Otherwise, unless you can provide proper valgrind output with backtraces
 where these buffers are allocated, you really should not expect us to go
 digging for any possible fault somewhere.

 Oh, okay then.  I'm sorry I didn't provide enough information above.

   If it would be a common problem, it would've shown up before.

 Yeah, I do have a reputation for finding bugs no one else has spotted.
