That just sounds like a memory leak with more words. Is the memory reclaimed/reclaimable? No? Ok then it leaked. If the system were able to reclaim the memory from the order, you wouldn't need to restart it. The memory arena strategy doesnt change that.

It's still a fine strategy. One "formal" name for it I've heard is "null garbage collector". It may feel dirty, but it's pragmatic: if the program runs in cycles with well-defined starts and ends, restarting it reclaims all memory and brings the program to a well-known state.
