I assume, the memleak is not in the part of the code you've been sent, 
but who knows. Let's exclude that case.

If I were you, I would change the server code to a short one, which 
sends back a dummy simple "ok" or "fail" message (the simpler one), I 
guess, the "..." part of your code is that place:

   if (read(client_socket_fd, &length, sizeof (length)) > 0) {
     .....
   }

Then fire as many request as you can, and check the mem.
