- It would also help you debug your startup-sequence, since you'll be doing a
- lot of rebooting if you try this. Some tasks don't free memory for a
- reason, you know. Adding resource tracking to programs which don't support
- it is a tricky business, and you won't succeed in coming up with an
- algorithm that works in all cases.
