Freeing memory when quitting Wireshark

When I quit a custom build of Wireshark (Win32), although the application disappears from the desktop, it remains in 
memory.

I use g_regex for a number of dissectors.  In previous versions I was using the PCRE library and did not have this 
issue.

When Wireshark quits, is there a "un-register" routing that is called in the dissector?  I am suspecting that I am not 
releasing all my memory from the compiled g_regex_new functions.

Thanks as always.
