It looks like the vtkDebugLeaks reference manager is getting confused
by the class template. It appears that vtkBuffer is being registered
as 'vtkBuffer<ScalarT>' and unregistered as 'vtkBuffer'.

The good news is that you can likely ignore these for now -- they
aren't actually leaking, but the object tracker is getting confused.
I'll see about fixing this soon.

Thanks for the report!
Dave
