If you look at the code in question you will see that the type is not
local (to the loop). It is local to the given subprogram, but the loop
is endless in the subprogram.

I agree that on a modern hosted OS like Linux or Windows, when you
terminate the main program the memory it has allocated will be
restored. But that will not do you much good if your os is eg VxWorks.
