leak n.
With qualifier, one of a class of
resource-management bugs that occur when resources are not freed
properly after operations on them are finished, so they effectively
disappear (leak out). This leads to eventual exhaustion as new
allocation requests come in. memory leak and fd leak
have their own entries; one might also refer, to, say, a `window
handle leak' in a window system.
