Good idea.  I wasn?t thinking of it from that perspective.

I was of the same mind as you before I got involved. This isn't for a simple
consumer device but an application for a huge corporation [name purposely
withheld] MultiFunctional Device (MFD) and they put the code I develop
through the wringer - prodding and poking every possible area.  I have to
make a declaration in my manifest file for the maximum amount of memory my
applet will use, and if I go over that amount my applet fails their
verification process.  That is where the problem lies, because they are
stating I am using more memory than I believe my program is using. I could
just make the statement that my program uses up to 15MB, but they also
warned that if I pad my max mem usage by a lot that could also make me fail
verification.  So it is a tough spot to be in :-)

If you can then avoid using "new" at all except at initialization time.

So the problem is that you need to convince the hardware vendor that you
behave correctly?  Why is this an issue?
