Windows Memory Leak

[Ola Olsson <oeolsson at enosis dot net>]

Somewhere in the RB manuals I read that using directly, a parameter 
passed to a method can cause a memory leak in Windows. It suggested 
to immediately assign the passed value to a local variable to counter 
this unfortunate effect. That is:
// don't do this
sub setFrames(f as integer)
   dim i as integer
   for i = 0 to f
      do something
   next
End Sub

// do this instead
sub setFrames(f as integer)
   dim i,j as integer
   j = f
   for i = 0 to j
      do something
   next
End Sub

Is this true? And if so, should it be safe practice to always assign 
passed values to local variables?
