The *feature* you describe, not releasing memory when applications are quit
in Multifinder is documented in the MultiFinder release documentation. I have
always considered this to be a bug. It is know in most circles as a
'Core leak' and is definitily bad practice. But since it is documented it must
be a feature...SMILE.
