There is something in the string allocation that causes the leakage. The leaks correspond with the number of files in the series.  I don't want to use AfxEnableMemoryTracking(FALSE) before reading a DICOM volume with itk::GDCM... Please help!

Try rerunning your example with the /delayload flag to avoid having
ITK dll being loaded before MFC's one. Please report back if you are
convinced that there is a leaks in gdcm library.
