	Why does VMS 4.2 give memory to idle terminal jobs??  Has anyone 
	noticed this ?  On our system, idle terminal jobs hold onto their 
	memory (up to WSDEFAULT) and are not trimmed or swapped out even 
	though they have been idle for hours and memory is in demand.  We 
	are using the default system parameters, LONGWAIT and DORMANTWAIT 
	are 30 and 10 seconds....
