According to that definition of memory leak, I guess you can call anything that doesn't eagerly free memory for memory leak. And the term gets quite weak and vague in that case.

The issue with this code is not that it isn't eager enough. It deoesn't free the memory ever (for value of ever "till the whole stack is not freed, that can be the whole runtime of the program").
