ABSOLUTELY!

Im writing software which responds to telephony events.  In particular I
have a new window for each call that each user has. At any time there
could be 20 users, over the course of the day thats 20 x n (calls).  The
mem not being freed correctly causes a leak of just over 1 meg over the
day.  If it was used in a call centre it would be more serious.
