Question about Memory leaks in 1.7

I was wonder if the memory leaks that were addressed in 1.8 were in all releases of 1.7, or if there were specific releases of 1.7 that 1.8 addressed. The reason being is that I have a mixed Linux environment and I'm working with Novell on what looks like a memory leak. Novell hasn't yet moved to 2.0 and isn't yet ready to adopt 1.8. They're asking me to test their other supported release of 1.7.7, which I really don't want to do if there are known leaks in these releases. Any clarification or help would be appreciated Thanks...
