On macOS, _hx_ssl_cert_load_defaults never releases its search dictionary, the keychain search list or the array SecItemCopyMatching returns, which holds every system root certificate (about 440 KB), so each TLS context built from the default certificates leaks it. Upstream fix: HaxeFoundation/hxcpp#1424.
