Maybe you could create a small IDE package that provides an interface to 
the GetHeapStatus ( 
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/getheapstatus.html ) and 
GetFPCHeapStatus ( 
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/system/getfpcheapstatus.html ) 
functions by e.g. a menu entry to check whether it's just the heap 
manager that didn't release the memory chunks yet.
