Perhaps "leakage" is the wrong term to use here. I'm referring to 
the fact that a conservative garbage collector fails to 
distinguish between pointers and non-pointers, so it happens that 
dead objects fail to get collected. It's a much greater problem 
on 32-bit with the limited address space, especially if you 
perform many large allocations.
