Process memory is released.  Non-process memory may not be.

If you do something which causes PM or WPS to allocate memory, the effect
could be the same as a leak.  However, such memory would be owned by PM or
WPS itself, not by your process.  It is also possible to leak certain kinds
of non-PM resources in OS/2, such as handles, under some circumstances.
