Thanks for bringing this to our attention again. Until 2.0 was published 17 days ago, there was nothing we could do about this. However, node-pre-gyp is only used during install time (to download pre-built binaries, if available), so memory leaks are unlikely to cause much problems.

Now that 2.0 is out, we can work on upgrading, however due to the major version bump to 2.0, it requires more care to evaluate. Potentially this is just because they bumped minimum Node requirement to 18.0? We'll have to do more testing to see what shakes out.
