Not necessarily. It is possible whatever was being attempted at the time will
be aborted, but that the program will carry on rather than just exiting.
Besides it is better to be paranoid and free an allocated block of memory if all
the remaining pointers to it are about to be discarded, rather than just leaving
it orphaned.
Cheers
Nick
