What skin do you use? Native? Only the POSIX skin currently does
auto-cleanup, the others require explicit care.

Install a signal handler and do cleanup of all allocated objects (tasks
get deleted when they terminate). Either keep track of your allocated
resources in some list(s) or signal the owners (tasks) that they should
terminate and cleanup their locally allocated resources. There are
dozens of ways to do this, depending on your application design.

But if you think that you are cleaning up correctly and still face
leaks, try to derive a simple test that demonstrates the issue.
