plugins/mate/mate_util.c, that is.  But a quick search of rev 35080 reveals
that g_mem_chunk_destroy() is used in:

file.c
epan/proto.c
epan/reassemble.c (bug #4141)
epan/tvbuff.c
epan/dissectors/packet-isakmp.c
epan/dissectors/packet-synphasor.c
plugins/mate/mate_util.c

> Unfortunately, as of GLib version 2.10, g_mem_chunk_destroy doesn't actually
> free memory thus leading to memory leaks.

By the looks of it, the glib maintainers will never fix it:
