Yes, it needs memory allocation outside the main code because it must be 
able to handle low and out of memory conditions.

On Linux it may also be that the C++ library calls malloc for handling 
new. There used to be overrides for new/delete somewhere that could use 
the POV-Ray internal memory allocation functions, but they may since 
have been removed. If so, you can always use Memcheck from Valgrind.
