A memory leak does not prevent a program from running and it
is not a problem once the process terminates but, as long as
the program runs, it will progressively consume memory.

You didn't properly initialize

pVarString->dwTotalSize = BIGBUFF;

May that's what causes lineGetID() to leak memory.

You should read the documentation about lineGetID():

<<<
Prior to calling lineGetID, the application should set the
dwTotalSize member of this structure to indicate the amount
of memory available to TAPI for returning information.
