[plug] Does linux have a general garbage collector...

[Buddrige, David]

Hi all,

Was just wondering -- does Linux have a general garbage collector built into
the kernel such that RAM that was leaked by a badly written C/C++ program
eventually get's reclaimed despite the RAM not being delete'd in the program
itself - or would it be lost forever?

thanks
