Is this a memory leak?

This is in src/Pegasus/ProviderManager2/CMPI/CMPI_Broker.cpp, circa line 900.

    static CMPIStatus mbDeliverIndication(
        const CMPIBroker* eMb,
        const CMPIContext* ctx,
        const char *ns,
        const CMPIInstance* ind)
    {
        PEG_METHOD_ENTER(
            TRC_CMPIPROVIDERINTERFACE,
            "CMPI_Broker:mbDeliverIndication()");
        // If no valid broker was passed in we try the use the broker
        // that was stored in the local thread context
        if (eMb==NULL)
        {
        eMb = CM_BROKER;
        }
        CMPI_Broker *mb = (CMPI_Broker*)eMb;
        IndProvRecord *indProvRec;
        OperationContext* context = CM_Context(ctx);

        SCMOInstance* scmoInst = SCMO_Instance(ind);
        CIMInstance indInst;
        scmoInst->getCIMInstance(indInst);  //*** <- IS THIS A MEMORY LEAK?!?!? Does this guy need to be freed explicitly? getCIMInstance() calls new() in its stack.***

...
        PEG_METHOD_EXIT();
        CMReturn(CMPI_RC_ERR_FAILED);
    }
}


This is my valgrind feed:

I have nowhere near 1481 indication items to process. More in the order of low hundreds, run for several cycles. Therefore, this is not an individual cycle, but continuously piled up over time and is most likely a leak.

Thanks for understanding,
