Sometimes good programers do not free all the memory before program 
exit, for efficiency reasons. Well, of course one could argue that 
memory should always be released, and relevant code #ifdef'ed out when 
needed. Anyway, I don't think it's wise to classify programers as "good" 
and "lazy" based on this single criterion.
