While I do not want to claim there cannot be one small memory leak or two, I
should point out that the Windows task manager display (or a similar display
in any other OS) is by no means a tool to track or determine there is such a
leak.  To the contrary, it is completely misleading!

A simple way to explain what you see there is the message window:
How could the added message text there be stored _without_ allocating memory?
