I don't know if I understand you the right way (I probably don't). I just tried to move tokenize+dispose into a subroutine (but still in the loop) like the following, but it still has a memory leak...
program test1;
uses GPC, stringutils;
function split( var inStr : string; var os1,os2,os3,os4,os5,os6 : string; var c : charset ) : integer; var tokens : PPStrings; begin tokens := TokenizeString (inStr, c); os1 := tokens^[1]^; os2 := tokens^[2]^; os3 := tokens^[3]^; os4 := tokens^[4]^; os5 := tokens^[5]^; os6 := tokens^[6]^; split := tokens^.count; DisposePPStrings (tokens); end;
var line,os1,os2,os3,os4,os5,os6 : string; lineNumber, count : integer; c : charset;
begin c := ['¤']; lineNumber := 0; while lineNumber < 1000000 do begin line := 'string1¤string2¤string3¤string4¤string5¤string6'; inc(lineNumber); count := split(line, os1,os2,os3,os4,os5,os6,c); if (linenumber mod 10) = 0 then begin writeln('Line number : ', lineNumber); writeln(os1+' '+os2+os3+os4+os5+os6); end; end; end.

The memory leak is not in the unit, but in GPC itself. It's a known problem with some string operations (especially concatenation) in a loop. (If you can read /proc/n/maps, you'll see that it's the stack, not the heap that grows.) Moving the thing out of the loop (syntactically, e.g. in a subroutine) is a work-around.
