Speaking of which, this latest report of an Intuition bug that leaves
a TempA allocated when doing overlapping Blit's.  Can a program safely
deallocate it itself?  Or will this break once the Intuition bug is
fixed?  I would think if we check for a non-NULL pointer there, we
can deallocate it, future Intuition rev's making sure they NULL
the pointer if they deallocate it automatically in the future.
