LOL, yeah. Dang memory leaks.

I guess it helps that all the script-kiddie languages use garbage collection so it’s not uncommon for programmers to not be bothered worrying about deallocation in general.

Remember the floating-point accumulating error on the old Patriot missile system ?

Their workaround was to reboot every so often. Otherwise, according to reports, accuracy was not good.

*Completely* different situation from kernel patching and memory leak. That was a numerical issue due to propagation of numerical error due to limited precision of the floating point representation of numbers.
