   Noted.  However, you should not be calling private library functions
this way.  If you were supposed to be calling it, there would be a system
interface like an exec Expunge() function for you to call.  I was told
that it is a bug that ramlib.library allows itself to be opened a second
time or expunged.  Just an open will lead to a crash.  Ramlib.library is
vudu.  Leave it alone.
