Oh right, because if you get sudden memory pressure you have a bunch

Exactly.
Anyway, that's nifty.  I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a

I know there are a few regressions in "strange" corner cases,
stuff I can easily reproduce with special test programs but
haven't seen in real life. I'm still ironing out those.
