Quite true, at least for programs written in the most common languages, 
like C or C++. I suspect there are a couple leaks in the expression 
parsing functions, and maybe two which I added by mistake with the 
turbulence scale patch, but I seem to have been getting leaks since my 
first compile of MegaPOV 0.5a, so it isn't only my code at fault. There 
are probably dozens of small leaks scattered all over the source code.
