I *LIKE* unflushed libraries. Assumeing that the memory loss is only
just that, then it is a *Feature*, not a flaw.
Note that there is a difference between unflushed and not closed.
Is all libraries (and devices) get closed properly, then they will be
flushed out when there is acutally a memory shortage.

It is a pain in the *ss to use two switch between two different
programs that use the same .library or .device, when they insist
upon flush libs+devices when they exit (I don't have a hardrive).

At the very least, they should provide an option to either do/don't
flush
libs on exit.
