Because there's a bug somewhere. It's likely the problem is in your code. I 
recommend trying to valgrind your application and/or reducing it until you 
find what the issue is.

Not necessarily. You can clean up after exec() finished. Just remember that 
you must clean up all widgets before the QApplication destructor and hopefully 
all QObjects before the QCoreApplication one. Depending on unload-time 
destructors is prone to problems.
