- If your program doesn't load up any system libraries or anything which
- isn't deallocated when the program terminates, then there's nothing for
- avail flush to flush. The memory your program uses is returned to the
- system automatically when you close it.
-
- Try running programs that use shared libraries, like MultiView etc., and
- it should work. All it does is remove stuff from memory which isn't
- currently being used by any programs.
