It should also show the entries that consume the memory. For
me it starts with

full talloc report on 'null_context' (total  11696 bytes in 244 blocks)
    msg_pool_usage                 contains    527 bytes in 3 blocks (ref 0)
        char                           contains    512 bytes in   1 blocks (ref 0)
        .name                          contains     15 bytes in   1 blocks (ref 0)
    struct messaging_array         contains     84 bytes in 4 blocks (ref 0)
        librpc/gen_ndr/ndr_messaging.c:152 contains     24 bytes in   2 blocks (ref 0)
            DATA_BLOB: ../librpc/ndr/ndr_basic.c:824 contains      0 bytes in   1 blocks (ref 0)
        struct ndr_pull                contains     52 bytes in   1 blocks (ref 0)
    NT_USER_TOKEN                  contains    772 bytes in 2 blocks (ref 0)
        lib/util_nttoken.c:49          contains    748 bytes in   1 blocks (ref 0)

And so on.
