Please detail one thing here: memory is alocated by my program using
glib. You say UNIX will free  all the memory. Why isn't it freeing the
memory allocated by glib also ? What is the use of ccmalloc if memory is
freed by system when my program finishes ? Just to ensure that my
program doesn't grow too much while running ?

(I'm already conffused about all this stuff.)
