To be completely clear about this, these leaked ports are not

Mach will clean them up for you at task termination. However,
whenever you don't need the resource, you should do the proper
thing to release it.
Thank you for the clarification. It seems to me that the example
should be changed to simply _exit(2) since the ports will be
cleaned up.
The problem is that someone will copy the example into a library
routine and replace the _exit() with a return. Then they wonder why
they leak - since Apple provided the example and it should have
managed its resources.
