Two separate people have pointed out that the system doesn't need to
unlock INIT resources, it just has to close the resource file and
all the resource handles will disappear.

Sounds good. But what about the case where an INIT file contains more
than one INIT resource? I think Apple wants to avoid being accused of
using memory carelessly, and boot-time system heap space is particularly
precious.
