If you are using FastMM and you close the application at that point,
you can set an option (I think it's ReportMemoryLeaksOnExit) and it
will report whether your application has any leaks.

It seems like I have seen references that say you can't rely on this
or that to determine whether your application is failing to release
memory (leaking). The FastMM option seems pretty foolproof.

If you need help pursuing this, I can go through the steps you need to
follow to make it work. My application had a bunch of memory leaks
that all came from two or three non-freed objects, but I could not
find them until I got into FastMM. Now memory leaks still happen once
in a while but they are really easy to find.
