It is still reachable. Since it is reachable, a pointer at deconstructor time
could use it. This pool is used to low memory situations. And can be used
even near exit. There is no leak; a leak means it is no longer reachable.
Most programs will not free some of their memory at the end of their program
anyways; they would just call exit.
