When a process ends, all memory owned by that process is guaranteed 
to be released. There aren't that many ways to leak after process 
death. You could be leaving junk on the clipboard, or have started 
COM stuff and screwed up the refcounting so it stays around. On Win9x 
I suppose you could screw up the 16 bit subsystems. You certainly 
can't leak malloc'ed memory past process death.
