I'm currently redirecting to file but 2 problems, file is not erased
on each run and in the development process and test you must manually
open the file to know if something leaks (easy to forget).

LeakView does not report right runs, only bad runs, and also you must
open it on each run. Anyway this "bug" must be Lazarus related.
