Possible memory leak cause - Videocapture ??

edit

I am trying to use opencv for simple image capture and saving the image. I am fairly new to OPENCV and currently using 2.4.11 version.

It has been noted whenever i close my camera and open it - i notice memory leak and thread count increase in windows resource monitor.However, if i open my camera once and capture images i do not notice leak in the system. so i doubt videocapture. Request some lights in addressing this leak.

However, after fixing this leak will have to create a CPP wrapper to access api via C

Platform : Win 7 32 bit compiler : Mingw Gcc OPenCv : 2.4.11

#include <stdio.h>

        if(cap != NULL)
        {
            if (cap->isOpened() )  // if not success, exit program
            {
                cap->release();
            }
            delete(cap);
            cap = NULL;
