Currently the garbage collector does not run the finalizers when
XEmacs exits. This is bad, we should definitely fix this. I see if I
can come up with a patch in the next couple of days.
This kind of stuff can't work in general. (Even though the assumption
that it can be done is common, and was made in the early Java versions.)
For the gory details, see:
