Why is it called a memory leak? I think that's a distributed term. We used to call it something else on the mainframe, but I can't remember what. <SNIP> Memory creep. Memory leak is a nice way of saying someone's coding practices are a little shaky -- in particular, from my experience, what is produced by certain compilers seem to not correctly cleanup after themselves forcing PAPS to have to be rebooted.
