memory leakage

[unregistered]

When a handle to a dynamically allocated memory is lost, there is a memory leakage. Does this leakage still persist even after the program's process is terminated?

Depends on the OS. On Windows Server, 2k, XP, Vista, 7, Linux, MacOS X, BSD, et cetera, no. On MS-DOS, Windows 9x, ME, et cetera, yes.
