Whoa...almost skipped right by this one. Actually, as far as I remember
(insert usual "I might be wrong caveat here), the same _doesn't_ apply for
lists.
The reason fields do their own memory management is that their contents may
grow and shrink over time. For lists, this is not the case (at least as
far as the OS is concerned). Any lists that you put in a form cannot
change (you can give it a new list of elements, but not add/remove from the
existing list). Therefore, like labels, lists do not free their contents
when the form closes (because their contents are allocated in the form
memory). If you stick a new array in the list, you are responsible for
freeing it yourself.
