Resolution
For eDirectory 8.7.3.9 servers, the leak is fixed in eDirectory
8.7.3.9 FTF3. The fix will be included in eDirectory 8.7.3
Support Pack 10 as well eDirectory 8.8 Support Pack 2 FTF2.
The leak is not observed when the LDAP changetype is "replace" instead of "delete". This could be a possible workaround as well.
