            containing it. Thus, while pure copper sulphate, {CuSO4},
            is a white amorphous substance, blue vitriol, the

            of water of crystallization.

   memory leak n.   An error in a program's dynamic-store
   allocation logic that causes it to fail to reclaim discarded memory,
   leading to eventual collapse due to memory exhaustion.   Also (esp.
   at CMU) called {core leak}.   These problems were severe on older
   machines with small, fixed-size address spaces, and special "leak
   detection" tools were commonly written to root them out.   With the
   advent of virtual memory, it is unfortunately easier to be sloppy
   about wasting a bit of memory (although when you run out of memory
   on a VM machine, it means you've got a _real_ leak!).   See {aliasing
