I've seen programs (my own!) that call QShell utilities directly develop 
enormous memory leaks. That's why I abandoned the technique.

Sounds like a Mongolian Barbecue joint I know, where they can't seem to 
get the concept of "mild" through their heads. Or maybe they define 
"mild" as "omit the radium." And so about 3/4 of the time, if I eat 
there, I end up picking a couple of dozen little orange flakes out of 
the meat, noodles, and onions, and STILL having sore lips for 20 minutes 
after I finish eating. "The Asian cuisine for the picky" indeed!
