Steve, The word "leak" is the normal term for memory that is allocated by not freed. <SNIP> Humor me. When did this become a normal term for memory that was allocated and not freed? Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon, but everywhere I've been (including IBM) it was a storage creep, or storage corruption. But in almost all cases, it was because of some poor programming practice. So did this term come from DEC? I don't recall this term being used in the Univac shops I worked in, or the Honeywell, Varian, or Burroughs shops. No, don't recall this being used at WANG, or the S/3x shops where I did development. I think I first heard this term about 1995. Just an enquiring mind.
