If I'm taken correctly, your OS is meant to free *all* memory you
allocated during the program execution on exit. Leaks just mean that the
memory is lost during program execution, which can be equally bad if the
application runs for a long time and you leak memory very often, since
the allocated but lost memory is not available for other programs.
