Ticket 210: Memory leak in Windows - CryptAcquireContext
In Windows builds there's a memory leak due to not releasing a CNG context after generating a pseudo random number.
¤https://github.com/sean-/ossp-uuid/blob/master/uuid_prng.c#L151
if (CryptAcquireContext(&hProv, NULL, NULL, PROV_RSA_FULL, 0))
CryptGenRandom(hProv, n, p);
The hProv variable should be released after calling CryptGenRandom:
CryptReleaseContext(hProv, 0);
