"Memory leak" isn't a fuzzy term for any memory problem.
A memory leak occurs when an app has a bug whereby memory
isn't returned to the heap after a memory-intensive task.
When repeated calls are made to the task, system resources
drop at a sharp rate and rebooting is quickly necessary.
It makes the app virtually unusable till fixed, and if
xyWrite 4 actually had one I suspect it would have been
discovered years ago. ... Ciao. --a
