I know this is a commonly asked question, but I've never seen the answer.

I have a program which returns all of its dynamically allocated memory
when run from the CLI, but loses ~50-120 bytes from run from the workbench.
I found that if I do the following, all memory is returned:

	fclose(stdin);
	fclose(stdout);
	fclose(stderr);
	rbrk();
	exit(0);

My question is, is this dangerous (the rbrk())?  I notice a lot of programs
when run from workbench don't return all their memory.  I'm using Lattice
5.02 (wb programs work, hurray!)
