The Tnm code never even tried to free loaded MIB data. It relies on
the operating system to get release the memory on process termination.
Even though this may sound bad, it usually is not an issue since the
number of MIBs you load is usually limited by some reasonable bounds.
(And loading the same MIB multiple times will not lead to memory
leaks.)
