So what does atexit do on the macintosh do anyway. Since you were hoping
that would fix the issue. Ick lots of interesting things, seems there is a
problem here in how the macintosh application are being built, somehow the
termination logic that should call atexit doesn't get called. Some reading
is in order to chase this little gem down. Thanks Tim.
