Yes.

Can I understand that you believe that "operating systems cleans up all
memories malloc()ed by process at the end of the process" ? I think there
is such a operating system. But I think not all operating systems can do
that. And it is hard for developer who aim to port the CoovaChilli to
new platform to research the operating system behavior. So I think OS
independent code is better.
