I'll tell you this, I have spent an *untold* number
of hours chasing down memory leaks only to find that
I forget to call a superclass CLEANUP method from my
object's CLEANUP method! I've done it so often this
is the *FIRST* thing I look for when I'm chasing
memory leaks now.

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Cheers,

David
