Unix (at least, the ones I've worked on) recovers the memory as soon as the program that allocated it ends.

The leaked or lost memory will persist until the job ends or the activation group is reclaimed. This is, of course, significantly better than on other platforms where such storage is not recovered even when the process terminates. An IPL is the only option on such systems.

On what systems is that memory not recovered? I know windows does
recover it. Does *nix not? I'd be surprised by that.
