So, your advice concerning object clean up is even more important than I
first thought. Thank you.

No.  In V5R1, if you destroy the JVM, you may not be able to start a new
one the way you want (for example, if you need to call JDK 1.2+
methods).

In V5R2, you can't start a new one.

I don't completely understand this, but even in V5R1, destroying the JVM
doesn't really destroy it, it just makes it unusable.  Some threads are
still allowed to continue running.

Anyway, the upshot is - don't build a dependency on being able to
destroy the JVM.
