A memory leak of this kind is impossible on a real Unix system.  When
a process exits, all of its memory is reclaimed by the system.  I
don't know anything about Amigas, but if an Amiga process is
responsible for freeing memory when it exits to avoid leaks, any
library code that does Unix emulation must take on this
responsibility; you can't expect code written for Unix to do it.  So
if there is any bug, I would say it must be in the Unix emulation code
you are using, not in gnuchess itself.
